lol, I bid $410 and was high bidder til the last few seconds. So, not sure who snagged it. I keep checking around here to see if someone posts a pic. It wasn't mint, I could see a few scratches and dings. That is why I kinda chumped out. No telling what their max bid was.

I wanted to put it with my Trout. But, its all good.


It is a rare light but one thing I have learnt you can never say never so you may find one one day.
I do not remember any dings but it did have a few scratches.

and there was a Tarpon one up on the Bay briefly by the same person who has the Brown Trout one out there still.


It could have been the one I got as these people are the same people I got it from. Did it sell or was it pulled from sale?
I did not get any of their lights from them off eBay. I only worked out it was them when I seen that Brown LX2 listed as I was also offered that light.


:wave:

Edit: I have just got in my Hands on the Holly Grail of Surefire collectables. Cannot believe I finally found this light after so many years stay tuned :devil:

New avatar level ?

No I don't think so as there is one member who has it as his avatar already "hint". Plus my currant avatar is till kept in higher regards to me than any other light I have well maybe the Beast proto-type is up with it.

I just need to clean my camera's sensor it is disgusting.



While we wait he is my M3P. I still cannot believe Jamali "Lomandor" & myself found one of these at the same time freaky.


Mine is not the same nice dark HA like Lomandor but it is still that nice green/gray HA.
I bet his one has a lower serial number ? So Jamali what is your serial number my is A15648

The Surefire Abel story as I know it.


My whole Abel collection

William, a bit belated though anyway, as you have been told, your Abel collection is outstanding and I highly doubt that we will ever see such another complete Abel collection as this one. With all those colours, you could probably host the next Sydney Mardi Grass lol! :laughing::laughing:

Hmm, I thought the serial number on was posted in the pics of my M3P. Anyway, I just checked it and it is A15922 :)

I wonder if all the others made also had a close serial number..

In person, my M3P is not as dark as in the photos :shrug: but still seems to be a nice darker than the norm colour. Indeed one of my fav surefire's.

Purple A2?

That's what I was thinking too ....

Williams that's what I thought too a Purple A2 a dream come true for any collector.


OK OK you guys got it. How did you get it so quick :thumbsup: I must have underestimated everybody's Holly Grail of Surefire lights.

Just took some pics so I will post them in about 20 mins stay tuned.

No you did not take a shot from the number side. I still cannot believe we both got one at the same time it's one of my fav's for sure love it. I was wrong with the serial number I was thinking the darker one was going to have a lower number. Our numbers are 274 apart so it would be safe to say there was at least 300 made I would think. But than again you never know with Surefire numbers.

Yep those Abel lights sure do have some colour they are staring in next year's vivid festival :twothumbs .

Holy crap, that's beautiful. The photography is amazing and really emphasizes the beauty of the light.
