Question re C1A1

[boltaction]

Good morning:
I recently acquired a C1A1, with sniper scope, and have a question about it. The receiver is serial numbered to the rear assembly, but the breech block is not serial numbered, instead being electropencil engraved with a star type figure over a P. The star is similar to what we see on the DCRA rifles. Is that how the FN C1s were numbered? There isn't anything in the Stevens book on North American FALs about how the rifles were numbered. This is a 6L series, not one of the later 8Ls the OPP picked up. The rifle has the correct scope mount and scope, and also has a larger rear aperture sight that on the 8L's.

Also picked up a training dummy, which according to Stevens were for paratrooper training.

Some pictures.
