Hello Luis...

From my data base I believe that since your Converto has the THICK lunette it is not from the first contract. If you intend on getting a Robert de Ruyter data plate for it, here are a couple areas in my data base where there are no known (to me) Converto's.

A serial number/USA number between 0876920 and 076945 and another possibility would be 0877301 and 0877548. Any number in these two groups would not be using one already identified in my data base.

Here is an example:
