Hi James
When you look at inside shell/left side you will see 3 sets of numbers.
The middle one is the month and bottom pair is the year, in this case 7-59, it was made in July 1959.
The M42 is a very cool relic, some parts of the shell are weak and breaking, it has no traces of liner but the liner band is almost complete, just a bit missing.

Cheers
Nuno
