MLE 1892 8mm Lebel Serial/Prod Date Question

Anything with an "F" prefix is antique. The last number I have for a definite antique status with a "G" prefix is "G 12549". "G14655" was definitely made in 1898. Anything in between may be antique, (or not), but I couldn't prove it. The barrels were commonly changed as they got shot out, so that's not always reliable. However, if it's an iffy serial #, but has a barrel that has an 1897 date, it'd probably be OK. The "G50###" was made in 1900, so I suspect that fellow dosn't remember correctly.
