Survey - Meopta Owners Of The Meostar 8/10 x32 B1.1 - What’s your First Two(begin with ) Serial Numbers ? (2 Viewers)

I am trying to get an idea when(what year) Meopta Transitioned the B1 Meostar 32 mm to the B1.1 Meostar. Our Meostar B1.1 10x32 has serial number starting with 17. Our previous 8xx32 B1.1 Meostar began with serial number 16.

There must be overlap of the original B1 and the B1.1 since I have a 8X42 B1 with a serial that begins with 18. I would assume that the serial number system is the same for the 32 and 42.

Not 32mm but maybe worth something.

A B1 7x50 on eBay starts with 18. My B1.1 7x50 starts with 19.

I was always under the impression the first two were indicative of year of manufacture.
