Not too bad a job. The characters are of even depth, and nicely in line, though a little high and crooked....
Big Twin, eh?

One of the worst I ever saw many years ago was a Panhead engine stamped with a number for an H-D lightweight. The guy had a title saying Harley-Davidson on it so used it .

Re: Could this be the dumbest restamp ever ??
My SO's brother-in-law bought a 45, VIN is 46UXXXX.
He explained "it's bored and stroked to 80, so they changed the number".
Never found out if he got caught.

He only gets a 5 here, because not EVERYTHING I said was wrong.
Put more weight into it next time.

Re: Could this be the dumbest restamp ever ??
kitabel, apparently you were not happy with me posting the 1953 letter but it had nothing to do with your post #8. After I read the first few posts in this thread I remembered the letter so I planned to post it. This was before you posted at #8. But by the time I got back to it you had posted. Again, and for the permanent record, me posting the 53 letter had nothing to do with your post #8.

Re: Could this be the dumbest restamp ever ??
Would it be possible to flatten out this letter and process it through a scanner into a PDF file?
It would make a nice bit of trivia for my Harley file....
Thanks....RooDog....

Re: Could this be the dumbest restamp ever ??
RooDog, I don’t have the letter. I saved the picture of it from the net a while ago. Via PM I sent you an unedited version which includes a picture of the envelope and I also sent a photo of the bike.

Re: Could this be the dumbest restamp ever ??
foreigners who exported WLA from ussr did this in order to get a Title at their customs that cost more than a WLA title
