went through my harmonica orphanage/body parts supply stash and noticed almost all the SP20s, GMs, and 1896s weren't dated.
normally you'll find a date right above the 8 blow or draw reed.
what year did hohner start dating the reed plates?
just curious. thanks.

They first began putting production dates on the MS series when they were introduced in 1992. On the GM`s/SP20`s/MB`s they began putting the production dates in 1996, when they retooled.

Great, another dating thread. At least it's not Valentine's Day.
