Hello Cedric,
May I ask if you sure the rifle is 1943 dated? With a five digit 'H' prefix serial starting with a '3' like yours I'd expect it to be a 1944 rifle. Just an observation.

Thank you for the info Simon!
71 is stamped on the left side of the receiver, though... Does it conflict with your data?
Roger : it's the date stamped on the left side as I can see on the pics shown to me...

Cedric,
Many thanks. If it is indeed a 1943 rifle the serial number is quite unusual. Many thanks for clarifying. Any chance of a pic of the markings?

It certainly looks genuine enough, although I'm not sure if it may have been re-serialled. Can't see well enough. Does have the look of a genuine rifle though.
Many thanks.
