I have a beautiful 740. The date code doesn't look right to me. Is this something normal? Or was the person stamping them on crack that morning?

It certainly does look like who ever stamped it on there was drunk. Yet they are valid range. That one was produced in November of 1957.

The 740 was only made 1955 through 1960.

I know about the BLACKPOWDERX and all that. What are you seeing there? I'm reading Hieroglyphic - R - Sideways Bell - 6. So all I was getting out of it is a 6?
