Fazakerley final No.5 production comments

[breakeyp]

I have been looking at my Fazakerley production No.5s, making first drafts for an article and find this interesting:

Per Skennerton's SAAI No.5 booklet, Fazakerley was told to stop No.5 production on September 25, 1947. In other books he has commented on my rifles having receiver dates of October and December 1947. I have been looking for a 1948 for the last 20 years with no success.

For what it is worth, 10/47 is serial no. AC4718
12/47 is serial no. AC6299

1581 or there about may have been produced in the last two months.

For those who like to fiddle with numbers.
