Hi Dave,

If its VERY SMALL numbers on the l/h side just below the scope rail I would think that this is the month and year (August 1959) of manufacture.

Interesting thread. I too have a 50 knocking around in the gun cabinet, but I don't use it as it doesn't shoot very well.

Be nice if I could find somehwere decent that could fettle it for me to get it back up to scratch.
