This probably doesnt help much, but all you can glean from the QR prefix & the casting date is that it came out of an HQ of some sort. There would be no way of telling exactly which model unless you had access to the factory records. Dr

They wont tell you anything on the Sandman other than what mechanicals it left the factory with (which is already on the ID plates) though as they would have no record of it being a Sandman. ______________________
