Well, the Pro series is Japanese, and the DK3 was indeed Japanese. Pics?

I don't know how to put a pic up is there any chance it could be USA made or have I been wrong for 16 years?
I have looked at pictures of other dk3 but they don't have the contoured body or same colour as mine could you tell me how to put pictures up I am not very good at computers.

To post a pic you first need to load them on a site such as photobucket, tinypic etc. and then copy the link here.

There were a number of models that weren't released in North America and don't appear in catalogues, so you may have one.

Is there a serial number?

The DK3 and ATX are H/S/H configuration. Both are made in Japan, but I believe the ATX was made for the Australian or European market.

Well, you yourself said you think it's a Pro series, which has never been USA. Professional = Japan. Unless it says Made In USA, it's not.
