I have a spare bottom plate, George. Came with a serial number already on
it, so changing bottom plates will. at the least, change the
easily-observable serial number of the camera.

This has got me thinking... (I heard that, AG!) When a camera's bottom
plate is replaced with a new one, what, if anything is marked on that new
plate? Does Olympus say, stamp "replacement" or something on them? If they
are blank, couldn't someone stamp any number of their choice on it, and,
hence, counterfeit a "one million" or something? Do the cameras have a
hidden serial number somewhere, like a car does?
