If you encounter a highly unusual serial number sequence or want absolute confirmation of an instrument's pedigree, you can contact Tagima customer support directly through their official website. Providing clear photos of the front and back of the headstock, the neck joint, and the serial number will allow their factory representatives to cross-reference their internal production archives.
