Interesting. It should be on the right side of the slide.

Yes, is what I learned Parabellum. On the right side of the slide, you only see the Eagle over a N letter....And have no signs of a reblued gun, that maybe has erase stamp letters..

Well, with the depth those letters are struck (or rolled) onto the slide, it would have to be one Hell of a polishing job to remove the date stamp, and all other markings as well would be obliterated.

Got pics, by any chance?

Parabellum, Sended Pics to your PM. Hope this give light to find the date of manufacture. Thanks in advance¡¡

Had this since 2009 but just now is when I finally got around to verifying it's born on date.

Patience my friend. Updating a list like this takes a lot of time.

I once did an updated list for just the P220s on the old abandoned thread and it took about four hours to get everything together and posted.
