Firstly, serial number runs were unique to different models, so using this guitar as an example, being no. 73 doesn't necessarily imply that it was the 73rd Eggle made, but it may have been the 73rd Berlin Pro.
Secondly, I have seen some examples with serial numbers lower than 500, e.g. a mate of mine owns a Vienna in the 300s.
I guess what I'm saying is that there are lots of anomolies, so you have to add a small serving of salt to the 'facts'.
Not sure if this picture will work here as it's taken from the Eggle forum and may only be visible if you're a member there (it's visible to me), but it's a picture of me with Patrick holding the first Berlin which he still owns - when I posted the picture I commented that it was serial no. 1 - but as it was a few years ago, I can't verify actually seeing the serial - just that Pat described it as number 1:
As far as I know, Climaxes didn't have serial numbers - I've checked this against a few that I know of and they back up the theory, but again, there may be anomolies.
Apologies to the OP for hijacking the thread, but at least we're keeping it alive - come on someone, buy the guitar!
Gutted you closed shortly afterwards (and before I got in to the full swing of spending GAS tokens. Manson’s of Plymouth and Swag benefitted instead!) Shame. Hope you’re well though!
And this one looks a beauty...sadly, way above what I have available for another guitar at the moment.

I'm afraid this isn't going to be what you want to hear, but...........I have one (1993 model bought new), I will never sell it (even though I don't use it much these days), I lusted after one ever since they first appeared and I wasn't disappointed.
