I'm going to reach out to the Krapf shop itself and ask but other owners haven't gotten a response from them. I'll also hit the Losa site up with pics and serial numbers and see if they have any records.

I didn't see anything stamped into the steerer of the fork although it does have what looks like "29.4" or "24.4" written on it with a sharpie. Steerer tube dimension??
Let me know if you get a response from the Losa folks. I did not but it could have gotten lost in the shuffle.
