I acquired this a few years back and since my son has been getting into them recently I decided to get it out and look it over. I noticed there is no tang date and there are several little uppercase P's in a circle, one has a star above it. I think it might be a Westinghouse or French? Also what year could it be? Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, John.

French subcontractor for receiver. French receivers can only be '82-'85. If the receiver has an oil hole, it's probably an '82 or '83. If not, possibly late '83 to '85.

I think '92-'95.

Where would the oil hole be located?

It doesn't have that. Does that mean its older or newer than he thought? Thanks, John.

Whoops...Correct you are, sir! Don't know how I typed that out.

If no oil hole, then it's a later receiver-call it a '94 or '95.
