I'm not sure that's statistically valid.

This is a cheap Chinese knock-off, manufactured by WTF Products out of Seoul. The only US distributor is located in Okinawa. I would buy the OEM German product out of Stockholm or Madrid.

The lower left hand of the third pic is the location of the manufacturer's mark. It may be hard to see because it's on the underside.

Marc,

Can you reinstate the Disregard thread? Just delete the last offending post that some Newbie put in there (Damn Newbies!!!), and bring it back to life.

Please, PLEASE, P-L-E-A-S-E, Uncle Mark!!! We'll be good! We PROMISE!!!!
