    Simon,

    L39A1 UE70 A850
    L39A1 UE72 A1025

    Do you have the highest recorded L39 serial number? I think the highest recorded by Colin in Fultons was about 1214 ish from memory.

    No pressure!
    Mick

    Rod,

    Rifle A390 is recorded as having a completion date of 16th February 1970, on completion it was shipped to store at Donnington. Interestingly there is a small hand written annotation in the records next to your serial number which reads "Rework out 1-7-71".

    Rifle R39814 was part of batch number 27 which consisted of 18 rifles. Records show a conversion date of 23rd September 1971, on completion it was shipped to store at Donnington.

    Rifle 486 is recorded as being shipped to Northern Ireland Police (RUC) on the 12th March 1981.

    Cheers,
    Simon.

    Thanks Simon, good work indeed!

    I was given additional information regarding my two that they were both sent to RAF units, I think 1025 was RAF Barry (Glamorgan) and the other I can't remember, although I think I have the answer at home somewhere on a scrap of paper.

    Thanks again.
    Mick

    Simon,

    I'd be most grateful if you could please let me have information on L42A1 No. M 31392. Also, should you have any Envoy records, on rifle No. E 98.

    Many thanks,
    Terry

    Well Simon, you certainly are performing a welcome service with this post! Hope it doesn't become too much trouble for you. If there is ever anything I can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask.

    When you get a chance to get around to it, here are mine, (without the L39 I have my eye on):

    Envoy - E 352
    L42A1 - X34261
    Enforcer - 062

    Thanks so much.

    Best regards,

    Terry
