On my 58, in the same place Denis is talkin' about, that info is stamped AND
there is a plate attached over the stamped spot. The plate is screwed
on...if I can find the plate, I'll see what info can be gleaned from it...I
am currently unable to get down, twist around and look at the stamping.
This disability thing sucks.
