Would that be a May of 85 manufacture date?
Will post pics when I get enough posts.
That serial number can be reverse engineered mutliple ways. Based on what I've seen on other Shogun models, the most likely format would represent 1985 but does not have a month stratifier. Still, it would appear to be from early enough in the calendar year to be a 1985 model, While they won't attach to your post, you can upload photos now. They'll upload to gallery album where memebers can view them.
