For sure. I have no way of knowing if the one on my king is Original. I do know the one on the Chestnut 5 is. I didn't really intend this thread to be about MR headtubes vs badge date. Just seems like for the amount of Schwinns that have gone through my hands, a TON on MR dates have been prevalent. And it seems odd to me there are just so many. paging

Oh absolutely. I'm very aware of the unique qualities of the King Sting. Was simply sharing another MR headtube stamp. I have two more cruiser 5's currently, I'll try to get a look at their serials this weekend.
I am just trying to nail down why there seems to be such a disproportionate amount of Dec '80 serials. It can't just be a coincidence that I've had/found soooo many MR serials.
