Paiste can be dated by serial numbers. Nowadays serial number are 8 digits, with the first 2 indicating the prodcution year (05xxxxxx) would be made in 2005. There is/are threads on this issue but roughly it is like this:

no number: pre 70íes

6 digits no lettering: 70's first digit indicating year (6xxxxx) is 1976

6 digits with plain PAISTE stamp: 80's, (3xxxxx) is 1983

6 digits with pAisTe (logo): stamp 90's, (2xxxxx) is 1992

8 digits from second half 90íes, see above.
