X = a letter, indicating the calendar month of manufacturer (A = January, B = February, C = March, etc)
Y = a number, indicating the last digit of the calendar year of manufacture (0 = 1980, 1 = 1981, 2 = 1982, etc.)
ZZZZZ = a five digit number sequence, probably indicating frame number during month

Example: FB125349 indicates the 25,349th frame manufactured during February 1981.

*The serial number format may extend beyond 1980-1987, in either direction, but to date, data samples lie within this range.
F- Factory (likely Fuji)
H - August (possibly made for the next model year)
0- 1980
09082 - 9,082nd frame made that month

Made in 1980, possibly sold as an '81 Royal

Thankyou
