Hamer COAs...educate me, please...

[singlehum]

I've gathered bits and pieces of info from reading miscellaneous posts that Hamer issued COAs with guitars in certain time frame(s), but I've yet to comprehend the overall scheme on this, Can someone lay it out for me?

Thanks

I think they started issuing them for more 'production' guitars later on as well.

Before this they issued basic warranty cards (various designs) with few details even for the wildest custom order.

The run of korina Vectors in 1997 had COA's.
