N°4MK1 data/serial?

[Roger Payne]

I think I can make out a badly stamped '42' on the butt socket, too. IIRC Faz early war production had the manufacturer details & date crudely hand stamped onto the butt socket as has the OP's rifle. Sometime mid-war they changed to neatly, but very shallowly engraving the details on the receiver side wall flat below the folded rear sight. I've certainly seen 1943 dated rifles with this latter style of marking.

Grazie per la risposta, purtroppo sotto il mirino posteriore nel receiver non c'è nessun riferimento di data,comunque sembra anche a me che sul manicotto sia stampato anche se in maniera confusa il 42, il prefisso T prima del seriale può dirci qualcosa? Se hai altre informazioni fammi sapere, veramente grazie per il tuo impegno.
