It's them sob martians again. Figure we get them satellite NASA things that shot rockets to the moon.

Re: Field Mail stamp?
Phillip,
99% certain that it is for the date. Standard Soviet/Russian postal stamps are thus datemarked. Marc |

Re: Field Mail stamp?
Marc,
You've just made my otherwise crappy day end on a happy note. One of my "educated guesses" finally has some backers. Thank you. Phillip

a) my guess is that it is a date. that is what i thought when i first looked at it, i thought it reminded me of a library stamp. b) 8 positions with 9 possible numbers each represents 43,046,721 combinations (assuming no zeros. if there is a zero on all of the dials then there are 100,000,000 combinations) this assumes that 12345678 is different from 8765421. :-D hope this helps

Re: Field Mail stamp?
What do those two equations look like? 9 to the eighth power?

Re: Field Mail stamp?
exactly. since a number can be repeated, each slot has 9 choices and there are 8 slots so 9^8
the other one would be 10^8 if they all had 10 numbers

Re: Field Mail stamp?
There are zeros on each dial. Since we all seem to agree it was probably used for the date, it would be darn difficult to give the dates for at least three days of the month (10, 20, 30).
After I clean it up, I'll get some ink on it and stampt something with it and post it here. Phillip

Sure, I've got nothing but time and plenty of paper.
