Could you please give me a hint where to find it?
And could you please stop laughing ;-)

This is a known issue with the R-D1, along with the whole host of other quality control issues, some bodies were shipped without serial numbers.

[Wolfram]

[Terence T]

I think there's been some previous discussion about the sequence of the serial numbers. Seems like different regions of the world have been allocated a different of numbers which can be quite far apart. Do a search, the numbers were posted for comparison. Congrats on your purchase. I'm still quite undecided on getting a R-D1 myself.

When I bought the R-D1, I did it after a few years of digital SLR's. It's some kind of 'risk', cause I sold anything else for it.
And - it my first rangefinder at all.
But I begin to learn and like the handling. And I like quality of the pictures.
