    Do I understand correctly that only some pieces will have the model and year on the reverse, and if they do, they will also say Edition 2008 on the display back? And that others will have neither marking?

    Or is it that some will have the model and year but not the Edition 2008 on the glass?

    I just got my Portugieser (German spelling, I assume?) and mine has Portugieser 1939 on the SS reverse and Edition 2008 on the glass. So does that mean this is one of the earlier production pieces?

    Pictures when I get back home Sunday. But I'm a proud and happy guy!

    yes

    yes, but those others will have the model name without year
