Was looking into the serials on my K31's to see when they were manufactured turns out according to records one of my apparent K31's is made in 1916 while the other is 1952 vintage. They both look almost identical so I'm assuming there's something wrong with the info.Anyone know what's up here?top serial 990988(1952)bottom serial 526882 (1916)
 
Well, a Model 1931 rifle would not have been made in 1916.
Could there be a Model 1911 rifle with serial 526882?
 
LOL tiriaq I know it wasn't made in that year that was just what I thought the info was saying.

Thanks Caleb I originally figured it was from the early 30's as it was my great-grandfathers service rifle.
 
My grandmother must have taken it out but it was in there when I checked it out last year. Gonna have to ask her if she did as I forgot about it until I got the rifle home then checked and it wasn't there. I was lucky to convince her to let me take it as she was talking about selling it to some guy and right now I'm concerned he may have looked at the rifle and removed the tag but maybe I'm just being paranoid. My grandmother also has another K31 that my great grandfather had personally bought maybe I accidentally placed the tag back with this rifle. Don't wanna be greedy but I should probably take that one off her hands as well. Man now I'm really scratching my head about this as I completely put it out of my head for the past few months. Goddamn! I'll let you know what I find out.
