High Standard factory records
Who holds this maker's production records today, whether a serial table exists at all, and what it costs to have the archive read them.
High Standard's history is a relay of owners, and the records went with them unevenly. There is no company letter service today. The practical route is the collector literature and the High Standard collectors organisations, whose published date ranges are the working reference.

Can a serial number date a High Standard?
From the serial number alone, generally no — and that is the honest answer rather than a gap in this site. There is no published table to compare the number against, so any year you find online for this maker comes from a secondary reconstruction, and those are exactly as reliable as their author.
Dating then rests on what is on the gun: the maker's marking and address, the model and its catalogued period, proof marks and their era, patent dates, and the manufacturer's own model history.
