Not that it is accurate but the JG rep told me their batch spent 10 or so years in Vietnam before being imported.

How is that validated? What are the indicators other than blade bayonet, dates and overall condition? Not saying your wrong, simply looking for more concrete to add to my notes as I have several ordered.

Here are two that came from AIM.  I will send you the serial numbers.
Numbers match on all parts including stocks.  One has the same white haze as was found on the recent batch of T53s.  Two layers of letters on the one stock.

This thread is for posting him the numbers, or send him a PM. Not all of us have our emails available to everyone.

Balkan area carvings for sure. No Chinese wrote that way. :lol:
