D70 USA serial numbers?

Can anyone confirm the serial numbers of US D70s?

I have 39004xx. Was that US grey market to UK?

If I qualify for rebate, I'd like one.

2xxxxxx - Japan
3xxxxxx - USA
4xxxxxx - Continental Europe
5xxxxxx - Canada
6xxxxxx - Australia and New Zealand
7xxxxxx - SE Asia
8xxxxxx - United Kingdom

Looks like bad news.

Seemed to recall several months ago, stories in newsgroups about a shipment
of D70s stolen at a German airport. Someone was able to post the precise
list of serial numbers. You might try emailing Nikon or Googling for list.

Interesting. The ser# on the lens that came with my kit begins with US.
The camera starts with a 3. I wonder why they just don't do the same thing
with the camera body.

For what it's worth, camera bodies are covered by national guarantees.
The lenses are covered by Nikon's international guarantee. I'm
guessing that serial numbering may reflect that.

You're right.My former Nikon-FM2 was brought from USA to Greece, and the
owner wanted to sell it, because a fully-manual camera was too complicated
for him.As everyone understands, there was no guarantee for it.But, the
Tamron 24mm/f2.5 had one, and after fungus developed inside the lens, it was
cleaned for free.I hope my current Kodak CX 7300 will not need (servicing)
for a long time to go...
