Unless it was nighttime, or the weather was bad, and you were running out of gas - then it was a sweaty nightmare, like a monkey f*ing a skunk.

I think this is great work that you are doing. Although not based on production numbers (which, as we know, would be the best source) I think this will give members a good idea of the distribution of the crosses by manufacturer.
I do like the one member's suggestion of having a whole section of the forum devoted to this. Would be a nice reference. What do other members think?
Additionally, once the numbers get more finalized I think a bar graph would be a great "visual" on these types of thread. I woud be more than willing to assist on this if the forum members think it is a good idea.
I agree, production numbers would be ideal, since it's really the most accurate source there is. Sadly those numbers are out of our reach..
A forum would be good, but I think that there isn't enough substance to call for an entire forum for these. Atleast, not yet. Dietrich is kind enough to provide graphs for the stats at regular interwalls, so that is allready beign done.
Thank you for your support Gary. The only way these threads have worked since the first one I started almost three years, is with community support. Thats what I have been getting, but It could still be better, so remember keep posting your stuff.. The more posts these threads recieve, the more they will benefit every one here.
Hopefully this is the right thread.I got my second EK2 the other day.I cant really make out a MM on the ribbon ring.I definately see a W and then a P?.Or could it be a R.Considering I only se the WR MM I have to assume it is a WR; that makes it a MM 23
PS:MM on medal ring
