Sorry Peter, I just re-read your email properly instead of skimming it ;-( The first numerical character indicates the last digit of the year of production, which in my Serial Number is the 2nd digit. C02CKxxxxxxx. Its first two letters determine its place of manufacture for example, so the C indicates it was made in China, the 0 (zero) indicates the year was 2010.
