955 & 855 frame numbers
« on: November 26, 2013, 01:08:17 pm »
Has any one got a 955 and a 855. If so can you tell me the first few digits of the frame number please. I know the frame codes differ on the 857 and 957 so would like to check the 855/955.
ie
856 models seem to start H5 or H6
956 - ?

857 models start H7
957 models start KU6

855 - 0
955 - AO

Cheers

Chris

Cheers Willie.
Ok that's interesting. Your Beast is H6 so must be a '56 model.
Do you think your 855 might possibly start with the letter O and not a zero? A letter O would follow the letter first patern the other frames use?
I have info of a 955 that starts AO, number.
It seems that the frames made in Taiwan seem to have one letter, one number, one letter, then numbers.
The 9 series frames that were reported to be made in house seem to possibly have two letters, one number.

My reason for researching this is to check originality. The frame number is the only way to check after a frame has been stripped and polished.

Here's what I have...

The 1992 862 is H1MOO Then 4 numbers.

The 1994 954 is H4AO1 Then 4 numbers.

The 862 could possibly be a late 91 produced frame.
I suppose it depends when production started.

Ok I think it's going to take a lot more frame numbers to work the true patern out, but there is definitely a patern forming.
What we need is for lots more forum members to offer their numbers so we can collate a list, then the patern should be apparent.
Everyone..?

My 855 is just a 6 digit number starting with 038. My beast is H6L.

I've checked a 955 my self and I looks like the second digit is a zero - A0... So it would follow that 855 start with  0 (zero) and not a Letter O.
