- Smith And Wesson Sigma Serial Number Lookup
The lens I received is a XXmm f/XX lens for my XXXXX brand camera, and has serial number #233XXXX. The lens you received has a serial number which has not been issued by Sigma's factory in Japan. It appears that the lens you received is a 'Gray Market' lens, and has been tampered with having its serial number changed. . Does not include serial numbers 900001 to 902908. These numbers were used on Sigma-Martins back in 1981-1982.
- The Leica Q2 Monochrom is a version of the Gold Award-winning Q2 that only shoots images in black and white. It's a niche (and pricey) product to be sure, but so far we find it to be well-designed and capable of outstanding results.
- These serial numbers are documented by C.F. And to this day remain the only Sigma related serial numbers that are publicly available. These 'N' instruments, of which only two models were ever produced, the DR-28N & DR-35N partially assembled in Japan and were imported to Nazareth ('N') and the Martin guitar factory as kits.
- Nov 15, 2011 Hey FenderBender, Welcome to the forum. Dating Sigma guitars is not an exact science. AFAIK the serial numbers do not correspond to dates. Others on the forum are way smarter than I, but I think the best that can be done is to narrow it down to a decade or two based on the country of origin and couple of other physical traits of the guitar.
Hi Arthur.
Good question as there is very little I.D. info on the web.
Sigma Serial Number Lookup
The guitar is a copy of a Martin 000-18. Given the date of purchase, it was probably made in Korea. The actual model number is of little or no importance.
Sigma guitars are very nice entry level, backup or stage instruments. There is a lot of unfounded praise levied at these instruments, mostly because of their association to Martin. Most owners think they're more valuable than they truly are. Although Sigmas had very clean workmanship, it is still a 25 year old Asian import and subject to all issues (or stregnths) found in similar brands.
Like any other guitar, regardless of the maker, the condition, playability and structural integrity of the instrument cannot be 'guessed' except by a hands on evaluation. I've seen both exceptional and exceptionally wonky Sigmas of the same vintage and model. It's kind of a gamble. However, the exceptional ones are some of the best values in the used low-end market.

A guitar of this vintage would sell in the Midwest USA for around $125-$150 in Very Good to Excellent condition WITH a case. It is no more or less valuable than a Takamine or Alvarez instrument of the same age. Of course, it all comes down to the price of the sight unseen/unexamined/unplayed guitar. I don't know what the original owner paid, but given the place of purchase, it was likely MUCH more than if were bought from an independent retailer.
Thanks for the photos. 000 sized acoustics are my ab-fave!
