  I got a model: *1529H1311, Is it possible to have the production year of it?
  Sorry about my english writing because i am a Quebecois.
  Thanks for your help in that case.

  Michel, mon english n'est pas terrible non plus ;-)
  Les H1311 on été produites de 52 à 62, le trussrod est apparu en 1956. On ne peut pas dater les Harmony à partir de leur numérop de série, mais généralement elles ont un tampon de date à l'intérieur, plus petit que le numéro de série, genre F-57 ou S-61...
