IDing my yugo m59/66's

[collateral]

I have searched online but I dont know how or where to find the date that they were manufactured by their serials.

My first one has a darker reddish colored stock, serial number F141XXX (the F is not inscribed on the gun with the rest of the serial number, but it was on the reciept and box). Everything is beautiful on this gun except for a few nicks in the stock. All matching numbers.

My second has a blonde stock, virtually no nicks in it. Its completely unissued, I've yet to take the cosmo off. It has all matching numbers, E92XXX.

Can anybody help me?

F series should be 1969 and the E series should be 1968

Here is the link for dating them--
