[R-390] Serial Numbers revisited!

[Tracy Fort]

Thanks to all that responded. Les, there was nothing under the name =
plate.
Also, I have yet to take out the IF strip. I guess I have watched too =
much
Discovery channel. I started thinking. Hey, they stamp those numbers =
into
the tag. They have to leave an impression all the way through the tag. =
After
examining the rear of the tag, I saw no impression. I tries to sand the =
back
of the tag with no luck. Nothing ever showed up. I flipped the tag over =
and
started looking closely at the front. There were six ground areas where =
it
looked like six digits were ground off. I started thing "what the heck" =
as I
sanded the front with 280 grit sand paper. As each of the ground areas
started to thin out numbers started to appear. I can make out either =
2940 or
2942. It seems that 2 of the ground areas don't cove a nummber. They =
seem to
be there to fake out someone. I can only remember 4 numbers on any 390a =
tag
but they had ground six digits. Go figure! Am I wrong? Did they have =
more
than 4 digits on a tag?
