They don't all have a handwritten date inside. My Tverb did, but my DR does not.
I called Mesa with my Serial number to find out. They can't give you an exact date, but they can give you an estimate based on knowing about when certain serial number ranges were completed.
If I remember this correctly they started the Rectifier series in '92. When they changed to the 3ch version in '00 or '01 they were around 15000 in the serial number count. Mine is 17xxx so he told me it was somewhere in the later part of '01.
