But the series number is the most important way of dating it, the records are pretty good.like my son's T38 series places it made in 1939-1940, so you get a pretty closes date range. The other will be the 'series.' Then dating them is pretty easy, because they really do NOT have a 'unique' serial number, but only a number within a 'series,' each series having 99,999 rifles in it. The characters or pictographs will tell you what arsenal made it, there is one that is supposed to be what a pile of cannon balls stacked in a pyramid would look like viewed from the top (concentric circles kinda looking like a compressed olympic logo) another looks like two fish kissing in a circle, and there are a few others. You need to describe the characters in preceeding the 'serial number' and give me the first digits of the serial number and I can look it up in my son's book.
