DSLR Serial Number Verification

[eamontana]

Can someone please help me decipher this serial number 183052002057 ? It should not be this difficult, but I have not found an answer in the last few hours of digging. I purchased a used 6d mk2 from eBay. When purchasing it, I never considered the fact that it was from a different country or that it could be fake or something. What would help me out the most, is if someone could confirm that this serial number is in fact a true canon product, when it was manufactured, and what market it was intended for. I hope that is possible, and it is hard to believe that its not but it definitely has not been easy to find these answers.

Thanks,

The first two numbers should be month of manufacturing. The third should be for the European market.

Greetings,

Instead of wasting time with potential counterfeit or gray market products, just return it. 

I suggest you purchase from a Canon Authorized Dealer and not bother with this headache,  

It's not worth owning a product that you don't have a warranty on and that you can't get service for if needed.
