I have been away for a day or two so have missed a lot of this discussion. All interesting stuff!
It's probably missed the boat a bit but I have these test results for various diodes. All home tests so take as found but there are interesting comparisons between vacuum tubes, germanium and silicon diodes. Some of the older types were 'used'. The 1N60 is reckoned to be a good diode in crystal radio circles but beware of forgeries which are rife. Some of the Russian ones are very good (see D311 graph, I have found it useful).
