Yes they are (or were and will be again with some WD-40 :o) and with 8 digits to set we are talking about at least 100 million combinations - maybe more but math was never my thing. With that many possibilities, it would make sense for it to ID an individual rather than any formation of groups. At the same time, 8 digits could also be the date - 25121977, but then you would expect the 19 to likely be fixed unless it was simply easier to build the stamp with all of the digits having all 10 numbers on them.:confused:
