Nice looking Romanian, they have a distinctive stock color, nice low serial number as well. Cool
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Looks like it missed the 'C' or 'D' in the prefix and the just went with it.

Holy carp!
The 1953 is a very low production year, and very few of them are found in matching fonts. Does it have the Romanian stock (large flat on rear comb area, 1, 2 or 3 stamped on top in front of buttplate, other Romanian cartouches)?
If this one is also all Romanian parts, you have a carbine that is worth $200 or more than you paid. Nice!

Thanks everyone for your warm replies,I greatly appreciate them!
Martin,I checked the stock,and yes,it has a 3 stamped in front of the buttplate and a couple cartouches on the stock. I will post pictures of them after I have my photographers (wife and son) take the pictures.
