Duplication of Serial Number
If you find Serial Number Duplication, please do not worry about and believe the both are Mosrite. Every Mosrite is "Built-in-Soul"!!!
When I met Semie Moseley in 1991, he said "I don't like to examine if Vintage Mosrite or not. My examination would hurt someone. If someone is happy with his Mosrite whatever his Mosrite is, I am also very happy to see such a guy and I don't care his Mosrite is vintage or not."
To get full information, I put the information from X-Owners to this list. So the serial number duplication would be seen sometime.

(Japanese) シリアルナンバーの重複
シリアルナンバーがときどき重複していることがあるようです。どれもモズライトに違いはないのだとお考え下さい。 いずれのモズライトも"Built-in-Soul"です!!!。
1991年にセミー・モズレーに会う機会がありました。その時セミーは次のように語りました。「モズライトのビンテージ鑑定をやるのは好きではない。鑑定の結果、誰かが傷ついてしまうかもしれないから。そのモズライトがなんであれ、持っている人が満足していればそれでよいのではないか。私はそのような人を見るのが嬉しい。だからそのモズライトがビンテージ品かどうかは気にしない。」
また、出来る限り多くの情報を集めるべく、本リストには、前オーナ(X-Owner)からの情報も掲載することにしました。したがって、シリアルナンバーの重複があり得ます。

It has Mosrite volume/tone control caps that are taller than those I've seen on other Mosrites. I believe that the tuners may be changed (The heads have 6-sided knobs).

They both have AF serial no.s, which stand for,"After the Fire",that burned up the original Jonas Ridge factory. It is painted in "California Grape". The bluish streak in the middle of the body is really there. This thing changes colors in the light. It has a wider fingerboard than the green one AF2424, and is better suited for rhythm use.

Burbank,K98-12The shape is Mark-V but the headstock log is "Ventures II Model".
Mark-V was made in 1967, my Mosrite was made in December 1965 and was called a Ventrues II. The date stamped on the back of the neck is Dec 19, 1965. I heard from another Mosrite fan that in 1965, the Mark V and the Mosrite Ventures II were almost exactly the same except for the name and the date they were made. The older Ventures-II had a flat body.
This Ventures-II has an extended pickguard under the top pick-up unlike the Mark V that stops the pickguard 1/2 way. I don't know why.(K.Burbank's note)

6812BassCandy RedSanders,D98-12I have owned Ventures Model Mosrite Bass serial number 6812 since it was new. Originally Candy Apple Red, now blond. Two pickup, modified in the '80s to stereo. Bridge pickup replaced by after-market type after the original one fell out on stage one night in 1970's. Was purchased as a "second" from Mosrite along with a sunburst single-pickup bass in 1968 by Quilter Sound Company (Now QSC) when Mosrite factory was fabricating speaker cabinets for Quilter. Originally had a blemish in the red paint on the back of the body. Has been re-fretted 3 times in it's career.

Click10UnknownBlackLackey, J98-9This item may be a Mosrite Bluesbender that looks closer to the brassrail. I believe it to be a 1976 model. The serial number is 10. I bought it this year from the original owner who bought it at Manny`s Music in New York City. All original parts. It says the new Mosrite of California on the headstock. Anyone with info on this guitar or just Mosrite fans are welcome to e-mail me at mhlackey@erols.com.
