None on mine, but it also never had pinstripes. When I bought it new at Stephenson Mercedes in Dallas, none of the 123's had pinstripes. They would add them for no charge if you wanted them. I opted out. I'd bet that it was the pinstripers signature.

To stir the pot a bit, my window sticker (yes, I still have it) reads 300D-T. So does my metal owners plate, myTexas title and my insurance card

Looks like the same sig (different color of course) to me.

Is the sig in the same color as the pinstripe?

Maybe! I have a two color pinstripe.

LNGfish, I use the next to smallest pixel setting, but I have a 7.1 unit, so try larger and larger if you like till you get a "image too large" response when you try to upload, but take dial up into consideration. Also, if your camera has a "macro" setting, use that for close ups.

TooMany,

I used the Macro or close up setting. I'll bump it up to to next setting on pixels.

Interesting 2 color pinstripe. Mine is 2 stripes but same color as yours, same location too across gas tank lid.

This guy Pierre must of done dealers cars in NY from pervious post.

Mine was originally imported to N.Y. too. There is some interesting paperwork with it. Including an unused coupon for a block heater, didn't need it, seeing as how it has one.

mine says "BUBBA".....i wonder where it was made?

My 300d has a small footprint on the end of the declk lid, suspect the artist left his mark after he pinstriped..?

Pierre got around, and he has lots of friends
 
I had hand painted pin-stripes added to my 1975 280. The artist left a discreet signature on the rear fender, where it was hidden from view unless the trunk was open. I can't recall the name for sure, but it was a Spanish name. Hand painted Pin-stripes and whitewall tires were very popular additions to Mercedes in the late 70's early 80's. I did both. :)

I suppose it would seem a bit odd to see a name on your car with no explanation.

Got a picture?

Charles explained where his says 300D-T but I don't believe anybody has actually seen a emblem on a trunk that was that way.:D

Besides . . .It is not every day we get to see Michelangelo's signature!:P
