Dave Regarding the Romanian bayonet serial number system, it's widely assumed there's actually a method to the madness. They copied the Russian style of serializing for a while until they went with their own way, and when they began producing larger quantities of rifles. The three-digit serial numbers are the earliest. In the Russian style, they used the last three numbers of the serial number. For example, '482' Next, the four-digit serial numbered bayonets.

More rifles were produced, so a larger serial number created. For example, '4852' As time went on, they began including a single letter prefix, then the four-digit serial number. For example, 'F 2418' Then, they used a two-letter and four-digit serial number. For example, 'TE 5622' Then, enter the timeframe where the three-letter and four-digit serial number was used. For example, 'SEB 4352' Although you can find Romanian Type I bayonets with two-digit serial numbers, they're usually 'one-off's' for some specific run. Romanian Type I bayonet production basically started in the early 1960's and ended in the mid-1980's.

From that, you can sort of figure out the era it was made.
