Falcone question

[Clark Sprague]

Phil,  When I was looking up the age in the Pierce Atlas for the Samick that 
I can't seem to send the photo correctly for, I noticed that Samick has 
Indonedia, Korea, and USA serial numbers.  They had an IJ in Samick 
Indonesia, I think.  Could this be what that is?  Clark Sprague
