Not sure what you need identifying - the date?
These are hard to date accurately because the production numbers are not readable to anyone who doesn't know the code - if it includes a date, it's usually a reference to the week of production to trace for quality issues. Plus, all manufacturers use different codes they develop for their own use. Cowboy boots fit into the 'classic' category of styles that don't change much unless they become a fad, like they did in the early 90s Southwest mania or the early 1980s urban cowboy look... otherwise, they tend to plod along in classic styles, like this pair.

Hello, if the really faded writing is L..00 that means they were manufactured in 2000, which definitely falls vintage now, right? I am not too familiar with Lucchese but from what I gathered you can send them pictures directly and their team is very responsive!
Here is some more info:
The Lucchese Since 1883 products are the most affordable boots in the Lucchese line. They offer traditional and fashion styling in silhouettes that evoke the American West. While Select Western boots do not feature lemon wood pegs in the outsole, the do offer a number of handmade details such as embroidery. Styles that begin with the following: C, N, M, T, I may be included in this line.
The Heritage products offer more style options and prestige materials than Select Western styles. These styles feature a number of toe and heel options, unique details like stitching, burnishing, dyes and special hardware. Style numbers begin with H and are made in the USA.
Classic products are made with a customized fit and customized details. This series is the foundation on which Lucchese was built. These styles are handmade, easily customizable and built one pair at a time to exact specifications. Lucchese Classic styles offer luxurious details including burnishing, hand pegging, stitching and exceptional hardware. Lucchese Classic boots bridge the history of old world bootmaking with new lifestyle brands. The style numbers being with the letters L, GY, E, BL and F.

Yeah looks like L300, not sure if that would mean made in 2000, but not too bad to assume.
OP, best advice is to call Lucchese support, they have a database of models and they would pinpoint you all of the information(at least was a case for me when I was trying to ID mine).
That's incorrect. The letter "L" is part of the style number and has nothing to do with the year they're made. After the letter there should be 4 numbers. It will identify the Vamp Color and The Upper Color.

You're missing one number, there will be 4 numbers after the L (which has nothing to do with the year)
