If it's any help, my 2009 sid team has the same colour decals under lacquer (as opposed to stickers). IIRC you could look up the serial number on the back of the crown. Also there may be one of those circular 'date stamps' in the casting under the crown, certainly used to be with older RS forks.
Best way to tell if it is an 09 sid will be to look for wear in the inside of the arch on the lowers on the air spring side, or put a decent (90+ psi) amount of air in, compress the fork and see if the top of the wheel moves to the left. Of course mine does this too. 👿 Although not all 09's did, I believe they replaced so many lowers under warranty that year that the fault did not recur in subsequent years.
Can't help, but any pics of that bonty? I shouldn't have sold mine
Def 2009
Same as my old ones
Conti XCs? Classic tyre! The 1.5" is still my go-to tyre for really horrid conditions.
