Here is a pick of a LM Core I have. I'm pretty sure its an army issue stamp, but if anyone could identifiy it, that would be great.(Image removed from quote.)
So American army's issue depends on what base or unit they are in?

I would assume that communications MOS would be more apt to have a multi issued to them than an Infantryman. Although it seems to me that one can request items from supply (multis, flashlights, etc.) and get them depending on some calculation of need/how much the supply Sargent likes you. So potentially any multi with a NSN could be an issue item in the American military.A few of our members were in the military so they may know more about the acquisition chain than I do.
According to the fine folks at Leatherman, all of whom put their heads together for this one:The first string of numbers is the National Stock Number (NSN) for Leatherman Core. This most likely came from GSA (General Services Administration), who sells to the military. The last two digits are likely to represent the year - (20)07. Don't know about the middle part, or the arrow. And we don't know why anyone would engrave the NSN onto the tool.Def
What are the date stamps on the handles?
Well that's cool!Is the camera correcting for color or are the spacers in the handle black instead of the usual grey?
No idea about the Stamp apart from the fact that it is very cool! If you ever see another one of them give me a poke will you
