HK date codes: A=0 F=5 B=1 G=6 C=2 H=7 D=3 I=8 E=4 K=9. J is reserved for proof house use and on HK parts not required to be proof tested such as magazine housings. EXAMPLE: IG = 1986. The Heckler & Koch HK41 is a semi-automatic version of the Heckler & Koch G3 battle rifle; it was produced by Heckler & Koch for the civilian market in the 1960s.

: What is the last possible date for a genuine, full dress HK-91?
1989? That was when Bush's import ban stopped further import, no? I'd suspect the last rifles to make it in would have been somewhat older though, allowing for some time in the pipeline as it were.
