<p>After some research I found this information regarding Nikon serial numbers. If the first numbers start with one of the numbers below followed by a zero, that could possibly indicate the origin of the product. The only way to be 100% is to contact Nikon directly. 1800.645.6678 or an Authorized Dealer </p>
