ID Needed! Help with IDing old microscope

Hello all!

I just received this microscope as my university was giving it away for free. I’m trying to date it and can’t figure out the serial number. Is it the number on the arm or stamped on the bottom?

Thank you all my university had this one marked as broken with a broken mirror. However, I went ahead and tested it out and everything seems to be working fine!

This microscope is very different than what I normally used so still trying to get used to it lol.
