Re: Post Your RARE/UNUSUAL SUREFIRES:
Kestrel, I really like your early e-series with numbered head and cross-hairs. I too would agree that it's a very early light even though it's a nearly 5K serial. I remember buying that exact same model on my lunch hour back when it was first introduced. I see yours has the distinction of being Milky-fied.
Yes, the emitter isn't exactly stock.
The newer tailcap has the McE2s for a ~10 lumen low level, which is also nice. I am proud of this light, but I didn't know that it was such an early example (I didn't know about the lanyard attachment point aspect) before getting the head permanently modded.
I guess the thing is, though, that it would be just sitting around unused if kept in its original form, this way it's an EDC that's getting daily use. Unlike a lot of other SF's I'm seeing in this thread.:nana:
(That's just to make me feel better after seeing that gorgeous pair of matching orange SF's)
Edit: I see that there is a comparable vintage E1 (no lanyard attachment point) in the Marketplace, but the S/N is A23557. Crazy.
