Title: (x) 88P5017
Post by: geistyx on December 11, 2006, 09:05:27 PM

I picked up this Alembic Persuader from eBay couple of months ago. However, the second number is hard to figure out whether it's 8 or 3. So it could be 88P5017 or 83P5017, even though t`The seller stated that it's 88 Persuader. Could you please give me more information about my Alembic?

5017 is in the 1988 range, not 1983 - I have 88S4828.
