I came across a 56s-1 today that had nothing on the receiver other than F and S for the selector markings. The trunion had the arsenal 66 marking and the barrel was stamped from Century.  Did Norinco export rifles without putting their name on them?

Yes the early ones were pretty much free of markings.

Most likely an early to mid 1980's import.Very desirable model without all the stampings

Look on the end of the barrel behind the front sight, should be an importers mark SACO?

Very bad form my good man. When I got the deal on my 56-3 I posted pics and what I paid for it.

Yup gunbroker is definitely the place to make a few bucks if you got something rare. Yesterday i bought a magazine with no markings from local gun shop. Was in a G3 mag bin, 5bucks. Looked very nice, blued steel and silver follower. I figured it was chinese as it looked very similar in quality and blueing. Spent 45 min online last night trying to figure out what exactly it goes too. I was very close to giving up on trying to figure out what it was. Anyway found it to be a rare as hens teeth Valmet magazine that sell for an insane amount. Guess where its going up for sale?
