Could it be September 22, 1965. The letter I would be Sept. date.

I'm a doubter. Send me a pic.....
Is this a RS L89?

FYI everyone, this is a known restamp by a known fellow in the hobby and the giveaway, of course, is that assembly date!


Cheers all,

Almost as good as the restamped engine I came across a few years ago.

V0229DZ. 1969 was not a leap year.
