Help with identifying a GT serial.

[Saldanha]

Hi... recently got a deal on a GT frame - 97 Avalanche I've been told - with this numbers on it. Can someone help in identifying the correct year and if it really is an Avalanche?!
Thanks in advance for all the help on this. Cheers.

That's a lot of numbers! None of the formats look that familar to me, which I would guess means it might be at least a year or two younger, when they were using more different factories. I would expect a '97 to have a serial starting SAS#X####

Hi.... So in your opinion it might pre 97?! 96/95?!?? I've searched several forums and on line but never saw such numbers. I have a Zaskar also but totally different...and from all that I looked up on several sites and photos none similar in way to this. And that's my reason for this post...
