Default Re: Subframe Date Code

Enio45,

I was just playing around with your image this morning.

These stamps do not always come out as crisp as on the granny Nova. Some times there is more paint around the numbers than in the number.

Looking at the image I see voids and some edges of the numbers. Based on that, here is what it looks like to me. ****does not make much sense based on your build date.*** unless it is day - month - year.

Top is from a negative image.

Fonts shapes are estimates.

Then first number, the '0', looks deformed to me on the left side. But there looks to be good edge lines at the top an bottom. Just like the '6' in 69.
The '5' is probably not quite the right shape, but not much else will fit into the void. Notice the edge lines in the bottom center and at the upper right of the curve.
But just to show that this is guess work, a case could be made for '4' in place of the first '1'.
