On the Julian dating of Paramounts, the 1967 chromed Paramount (should I repeat that?) currently have offered on ebay for your viewing and bidding pleasure does not have a such a code.
All of which is written in wondering why it hasn't drawn attention and as an attempt to draw attention to it.
Cheers.
