ES 135 weird serial number or fake?


Recommended Posts

I was looking at purchasing this 135 locally (second hand), but the serial number has me stumped!

00002331

 

This would mean that it's a 2002, but the date is 0! Even if it was made on 1 January - it would be 0001, or am I missing something?

 

Can anyone shed light on this?

The 2nd of January, 2000 has been a Sunday. Given somebody indeed was at work this day, the serial number should read 00020331. Perhaps the person thought or had been informed before that the code for 2000 should be YYDDDNNN and therefore chose to set for 00002331. [confused]
