Default yamaha cg-190s no serial number

dear members

i had a few weeks a yamaha g 228 at my disposal.
never thought i go back to the wide necks.
well just did , bought me a second hand cg190s
i love it , one slight problem.
there is no serial number , often it is stamped on the brace under the neck.
nothing on mine, i forget to look when buying it.
got it from a real nice guy, dont think its stolen . and the numbers sanded out?
i looked with a mirror and torch in the body.
and found 3 marks on the top.
circles of half an inche with the letter T in it.
maybe i say carefull maybe it was a kind of test guitar?
will post pics later.

Made in Taiwan. Yamaha likely didn't place much importance on the model.

I was guessing, based on several vintage classicals (not Yamaha) with no numbers on the crossbrace.

That is very gracious, Harry. No need for apology.
