Age is relatively easy. Take the barrels off, flip them over and look at the barrel flats. There should be three or four small numbers on one of the flats, most likely the right barrel (left, as you look at it inverted). Those will be the month and year it was proofed.

Model is a different thing, and I'll pass on that for the real experts to come in.
