Parker Hale M85 Serial Number Checks & Provenance on Manufacture (Records)

[Gil Boyd]

Sadly, not recorded in the files I have.
Just waiting for Bill to get back to me who might have that answer, but its a long time ago now, and their memory would probably have been in most of the records being burnt in 2000!

The first M87 recorded in the files I hold having just checked is Rifle number 02100C on the 2nd December 1988 with rifle number 01811C produced on the same day so you can see what a numeric mess it was back then.
The first M84 recorded in the files I hold is rifle number 01726J on the 11th June 1986 with rifle number 01716J produced the same day!!
The first M86 recorded in the files I hold is rifle number 01785C on the 13th June 1986 with rifle number 01777C produced on the 16th December 1986 Only 3 rifles recorded as being finished in 1986 the rest in 1987 - 1989.
