It's been a while. I've been lurking around, but, I finally managed to nab a pristine 1958 Romanian Model 56. Numbers all match aside from the piston and gas tube:

Well done, very nice score of a difficult find. Are the gas bits numbered or blank? PAX

Thanks! The piston and gas tube are both electropenciled with different numbers.

That prolly explains the off-color hand guard, PAX
Nice one for certain! Is the stock factory numbered and matching too?

Yep! The stock, magazine, trigger guard, dust cover, receiver, bolt & bolt carrier are all factory numbered and matching.
Very nice! I love Romanians thumb1 8)
