If you read back through the thread of the Kona Titanium Serial Number List from the start, you'll see that initially, I merely asked if anyone knew how the Serial Number sequence was administered by Titanium Sports Technologies.
After a few pages of discussion, it seemed that the site would benefit if I compiled a List from my collection of documented Kona Hei Hei, King Kahuna, Score and Haole frames. Anyone was welcome to take the task on, but I talked myself into doing this while I was convalescing, and consequently had a lot of time available.
Anyway, over the years that I had been collecting these pictures and adding them to my records, sometimes an example would pop up on say e-Bay, or MTBR, or even on here where the owner only quoted the Serial Number. I decided that it would be best to indicate that this was the case by pointing out that I do not have a picture record of the Serial Number. This was after all still a means to establish how TST had serialized these frames, so an error could confuse the sequence to year.
It was my decision to do it this way, and I would say that my method has been accepted by the members on here. When I wrote the reply regarding putting your frame as unconfirmed, I did consider that I may have caused offence, for which I can only apologise. It was certainly not my intention, and I hope I didn't sound pompous.
Thank you for posting a picture of your Serial Number, which I will add to my records and update the Kona Titanium Serial Number List accordingly.
