What year did they change from marking thier lowers just "B.F.I." to putting on the snake logo?

I have an old A1 style lower with B.F.I. and am curious as to it's approx. age.

Serial # is AHF 0XX in case someone can help me out.

Thanks!

Used to be that when you ordered a lower from them, you got a Essential Arms
casting A1. I believe this stopped in 1990, when they began selling their A2
forged lower....which was made for them by LAR; IIRC.  I ordered a complete
A2 rifle from them in spring of '91 and the new A2 lower was part of the deal.
BTW, the upper I got was a hybred A2 with a full heavy, full chrome, full fluted
20" carbon steel barrel.   Best shooting AR I've ever owned !!!
