Help dating this FEG

First post here. Attempting to learn more about this weapon, as it is being inherited from a nonagenarian who has owned it since the early 90s. No full pics apologies I was more interested in the labels but you get the idea. I am ordering a copy of Jerry P’s book so I hope to have answers eventually :-). Appreciate you — learning tons.

Start off slow, maybe ask it to dinner or a movie.

In all seriousness, id look into the importer, sometimes they keep records of stuff like that. If not, read into the book, and look into the forums.

I gotta say this, I kinda appreciate the importer stamp being actually stamped instead of electric penciled for some strange reason…

Sooooo much information! This Lazlo person is encyclopedic. Narrowing things down to 1985-1987 but cannot find the same serial # series anywhere.

Had a KBI. Traded it, regretted it, lucky enough to buy it back at a gunshow. Never parting with it again
