Please post your PST II date codes

[1jump2many]

I recently bought a PST II from another forum and was surprised it didn't have the PST II Stamp.  I have been informed that many PST II's aren't stamped with PST II on them.  David posted that he has a PST II with date codes 0398 and 0498 that doesn't have a PST II stamp and one with date codes 1198 and 1198 that does have PST II stamps.  Going by David's example I would imagine it happened sometime between 0498 and 1198.  I'd like to narrow it down to the month.  So if you get the chance could you check out your PST II's and see what your date codes are.  Mine are 0197 & 0297 without a PST II stamp.  Thanks.

Oddly enough, I think I only have one PST II.  I'll dig it out later and check the date codes.

So far it seems that the PST II stamp was added sometime between 0498 & 1198.  I would really love to see if people with date codes in that range have PST II stamps or not.  But then again it's just speculation on my part.  Especially if someone comes up with a PST II without a PST II stamp after 1198.

I only have 2 at the moment.

One has the date codes O7/97 and 08/97. Handles are not marked PST II.

The other has the following date codes 02/97 and 08/02. The 97 handles are not marked PST II, the other half dated from 02 is marked PST II.

No PST II on handles:

1197 & 1297
0697 & 0697

With PST II on handles:

0903 & 0804 (must be just about one of the last made - I did get it NIB)

I'll check my daughter's tomorrow as she's in bed now

Welcome to the Forum rix,    Does your PST II have the PST II stamp on it?  I'm guessing it probably doesn't but I'm curious to know.

[Teofilo]

Mine is 0796.

Welcome rix!

I'd like to see if anyone has any PST II's with date codes between 0498 and 1198.  Everyone's prior to 0498 is not stamped PST II and any after 1198 are stamped PST II.  If we could get PST II's with date codes between 0498 and 1198 would could probably narrow it down to the month the transition took place.
