Sorry, but haven't noticed the R under Egg in 10 years. The XL and the S have it to. Explanation anyone?

    My best guess would be that the “R” is for registered trademark.

    I thought it would have been more exciting than a trademark. Didn't really think it though either. Oh well, happy egging!!

    That's where "BigGreenEgger" came from, bad translation from a legally-deaf immigrant from Sardinia.

    That R went away when they went from that finish to the golf ball / dimple finish.

    This article popped up in my google cards this morning. I have a large and never noticed the R under the name. 5 years and counting with my BGE.

    The thread name name had me thinking of an “R” stamp for pressure vessel repairs. 

    Btw, my egg has an “R” stamp too.

    You have the common right handed model. They make left handed models too, but those are rare and have the letter L on the bottom left.
