I concur, serial number. Mine is 043943. I like the all ones, must make you feel like you ARE number one.

It says `Japan 077340' on mine with a wide space before the number. It definitely is the serial number. Could be forged, though. But why would someone come up with such a strange number?

By the way, I stumbled upon this web site only yesterday. It could become quite amazing once it's finished. I bet the other Contax models are getting jealous.

I was wondering if it is a replacement plate also. I wonder if Contax offices somewhere would be able to comment on whether their replacement bottom plates were serialed to 111111.
