Are you sure about the serial number interpretation? My 1971 Kawamura frame was
#KS78091 .
As was mentioned above, the Kokusai/International underwent steady improvement and evolution over the years, shedding a fair bit of weight and picking up a livelier ride and higher-quality cranks in the process.
