Wow. I'm stumped on the decals! I thought I had it figured out that the decals transitioned sometime during the summer of 1984. But if your Paramount is stamped "A8422," and A = January, I must be wrong. Unless it was repainted, but if that was the case, it is even more of a sin, considering it's current condition.

I'm glad you rescued this Paramount from the abuse and misuse it was suffering. You will love the way it rides.
