There should also be a box with either Roman numerals or two capital letters in it. These are Italian dating codes my friend.Does anyone know if it's possible to find the date of manufacture of a Armi Sport 1853 Enfield with the serial number? My serial is 0435.
As Cowboy said, there should be a small box next to the proof marks stamping with a letter or Roman numeral in it.Does anyone know if it's possible to find the date of manufacture of a Armi Sport 1853 Enfield with the serial number? My serial is 0435.
The answer may depend on what parts are you asking about. Many may be possible to fit. Many of the parts are pattern built. This means that they may look the same but are slightly different in actual size.
May as well add: CS=16, CT=17, CU=18, and CZ=19 if the system holds true.
The problem is that the system does NOT hold true. There are no letters J, Q or W...and sometimes, no E either........
This is true but, we don't talk about those "modern" guns here on the MLF.
So was I.I was referring to the original Colt, Winchester and Remington rifles and pistols.
