Hello Doug,
the production date is stamped on the frame left side. Usually close to the Ulm acceptance mark there are two digit or two letter. If you have two digits, they represents the last two digits of the year, for example (73 for 1973). At a certain point of the production, Mauser started to use two characters instead of digits. In this case you have to apply the following rule: A=0, B=1, C=2 ..
For example HI, it means 78.

Let me know if this tip solves your problem.

Ciao
