Snap On KRA 56J - Where is the date stamp?

[princeout]

Anyone know where the date stamp is on a KRA 56J? The model number and serial numbers are on a paper tag on the back but I haven't found any date stamp anywhere.

Next question - can the friction slides be swapped out for ball bearing slides?

Thanks,
Tim

Usually there is the model number (KRA 56J) stamped in the back of the box. usually the year it was made follows after. like this one says 95(might be hard to see)
