I had a 1970 Martin D 28 guitar. The previous owner scratched his DL number in
the headstock.

Very common back in the day. Old geezers and those prone to paranoia were
suckered into engraving their prized possessions with all manner of
identifiers from SSN's to driver's licenses, etc. This resulted in the
wholesale destruction of many beautiful items over the years. Consider the
rotary engraving pen like the "Squatty Potty" of the 60's.

Hey all,
I've got a 2.8E with some sort of inventory or serial number inscribed on
it. I've seen this on many Rollei cameras but have no idea what the source
was for these numbers. Does anyone know what the story was on these cameras?
Were these military issue?
Here is a picture of the engraving. https://flic.kr/p/ZdKz1b
