arisaka question

[gsneff]

dose anyone know how to tell what year an Arisaka was made? I just bought one today and am curious about it.

I had found some resources awhile back while reseaching the rifle my Granddad brought home. I'll see if I can find something.

ETA: This should get you started. I found it pretty helpful.
