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!

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.

Simon, thanks for the information on my rifles.
On the L39A1 "A390" there is a 2' by 3' "waxed" paper tag that is an some type of ID label. It reads:
IDENTIFICATION LABEL A.F.G. 8061
SECT..B1.. PART No.... 1005-99-962-3084...
DESIGNATION...RIFLE, SNIPER.....
TARGET MATCH
QTY. 2 T/E
CONTROL No. ...YRO6620.. DRS No...301825..
It has "UNISSUED" stamp of it and a "T" in a red circle. The tag was preprinted for fill in and most of above information was hand printed in ink. The "SNIPER" on the tag was crossed thru and "MATCH TARGET" written below it. Was this a repair or stocking tag?
Thanks again
Rod
