Hi, for you that have examples of this fine carbine I would like to know what is the earliest and latest dates that are observed. I have a Faz 3/44 but have never owned one later then 8/45. I really want Weimajacks 12/47.

From my Information source, they were produced from 1944 to 1947 by both Fazakerly and BSA Shirley.

Thankyou gentlemen, I am aware of when the rifle was produced...I what to know what dates are on rifles that are in peoples collection.
Maybe I should have asked, Does anyone have a #5 prior to 3/44 or one later than 12/47. Thanks

There should not be a No.5 made before 1944 and after 1947, as production started in 1944 and ended in 1947.

Maybe read some of Skennertons books, he may disagree with you..., anyway does anyone have a 1/44 or a 2/44
