Ron and George,
I finally found my Sony digital camera and took these pics of the markings
Here are the proofs on right side
The bbl markings and import stamp
The toggle markings, with the number dimpled out. looks like 83 or 85
Someone thoughtfully scratched 74 into the sideplate
Thanks for all the information so far and if you can find anything else please let me know. Thanks
