Serial Number: A-140334. (Edit: This is not the serial number after all; the serial number block has only the letter "F" and no numbers at all... Thank you in advance Last edited by Brentmcc; Sat Jan 25 2020 11:20 PM.

When I zoom in on the picture, I can make out “FA” then a few numbers might be missing, then I can see a 7 and what looks like a 9, and then I don’t know if there were any numbers after that. (The 79 is under the “AL” in the word serial). Try taking a few more pics with your phone in different lighting and zoom in on them. -Steve Last edited by Speedracer; Sun Jan 26 2020 09:11 AM. -Steve B.
