Title: Manufacture Date codes
Post by: Hewy on October 10, 2016, 06:12:18 PM

Since I changed my computer operating system I have lost the list of
Italian manufacture date codes.
Can some one please provide a link or list  here ?
That includes  projected letters beyond 2014.

This is the latest one I have but it's pretty easy to figure out what the newer ones are and will be.

Hawg had pointed out on our sister forum that the 1996 date code should be BH instead of the BD. BD is the code for 1994.
