1950 SKS extractor electro penciled?

[ricohman]

I am looking at a 1950 SKS that is non-refurb and seems like new in every respect. But the extractor is not electro-penciled with the serial number like my other guns are.
Does the 1950 have the extractor numbered with all the other parts?
This gun has numbers on everything else and the original wood stock.

I think if the extractor is NOT electropenciled it's the original one.

I did have a refurbed SKS with the number electropenciled on the extractor, and I have a refurbed one now without numbers on the extractor.

My 1953 is a non refurb and it is penciled, as are my friends 54's.
Maybe its on the other side and I should remove it to see?

It was on the inside of the extractor. This is a numbers matching non refurb.

Extrator,rear sight,gas tube,piston and in somes cases buttplate are always electro-penciled whenever the rifle is refurb or not. They do that because thoses parts are either too small or too thin to be stamped.
