Hi Jerry,
To expand on Rotherbirder’s post, your model L7344 80047, is from October (the 44th week) of 2003 (73 + 1930)
And for general interest, I’ve observed the following in relation to EL numbering:
- El x42 from L6925 05174 (so from a 05000 start) to L7943 94607 [with EL Swarovision x42 from K7927 06254, so a 06000 start]
- El x32 from L7320 67149 (shares x42 sequence) to L8143 01335 [with EL Swarovision x32 from F8148 40032]
- and with EL Swarovision x50 from D8043 05025 [there was no EL x50 model]
