Nice snag AOW,

SO MANY NICE LIGHTS HERE!!!

Been a while since I've posted here...

Here's a VERY EARLY OLD SCHOOL CROSSHAIRS LOGO M3 Body that I just posted for sale over at the marketplace.
The person who sold it to me said it was a prototype.
Thier husband works or used to work for SF.
Notice how the logo overflows the original "Flat" where the logo is usually contained....
Hopefully it will go to a collector.

Sat in my "Man Cave" for years

Early round body 9P

VERY Nice!!! A classic for sure...and pretty rare in that condition.

[DaFABRICATA]

This one's headed out to Donn tomorrow....

[angelofwar]

Hey, some-one found Spidey's light! LOL!

Top: L6-PP(L6 Porky)
Left to Right: 6P-USA(Hex Head), PKEF3A – 5K, G2-Realtree, A2-BK, 6P-USA
Note: PKEF-5K has the V2-Vampire tailcap. The 2-stage-clicky PKEF-5K tailcap works really well on the V2-Vampire.

There are some Awesome lights in this thread! Curious, where/how do you guys find the rare and unusual Surefires? All I ever seem to see are the same ones over and over again. I'm fairly new to the collecting aspect of flashlights, even though I've rarely been without one for many years now.

Keeping an eye on the CPF Marketplace is a good place to start

Developing a few contacts in the know doesn't hurt, either.

Nice snag AOW,

Thanks Morpheus. I think this is my nicest "oldest" SF...this thing seriously looks like it just came off the assembly line!

[LE6920]

My thoughts as well.

Regarding rare/unusual, here is a long-discontinued 'new-to-me' SF 7Z in near-pristine condition:





And next to a 9Z (in the background) for scale:

WOW, what a beautiful 7Z!

[angelofwar]

The 9Z can easily be converted to a 7Z by removing two of the rubber spacers and adding an A20 (if you can find one).

[Sparky's Magic]

Not all that rare I suppose but it's the only one I've seen and it is a favorite.

[angelofwar]

6P-SG???

[angelofwar]

"The Guardians"



"Old School"



"Got Mil...Ennium?"

[It01Firefox]

I don't really know how rare these 6P gift sets are, but at least they're NIP.
I purchased them last week and then carried them halfway around the earth, so the clamshell packaging got a little bent.

[Solscud007]

The are defintely not common. I used to see them at a local Surplus store. That is actually where I got my first gift set. I then hunted down the OD colored case too.

I got them from a surplus store as well.

Of course you had to remind me of the OD colored version! Thanks a lot, now I need to keep an eye open for one of those too!

[toby_pra]

Does that count too?

[Monocrom]

Not until you fill it up.

[toby_pra]

Still very very hard to come by...but i just received it.

Time to fill it up the next days...

[Monocrom]

Be sure to post pics.

[Meganoggin]

Finally got my mitts on a mint 3P

[angelofwar]

Nice Meganoggin! Don't think I'll ever have one of those unless I run across one in a pawn shop or a Policce store with old stock...then, I's have to find an M30 if I ever decided to use it. Very nice!

[dieselducy]

dont know how rare this is but here is my 6P usa, can anybody tell me anything about this??

[john-paul]

dieselducy your version came out in 2006. They are hard to find for sale, but they do show up on the Bay and here in the marketplace occasionally. Do a search on here I know there a few older threads on them.

[dieselducy]

Id like to get hold of the early one without the anti roll. Still is this a good collectors item?

[Solscud007]

You should ask yourself that question. It doesnt matter what other people think of it. If you like it then keep it. If not, ditch it.

[Solscud007]

It is so rare that there are only 5 of them. haha. One of the parking spaces infront of Surefire Customer Service in Fountain Valley.

[LE6920]

C2 Power of Light model, not sure how rare, but unusual I think. It is a dull finish, not sure of HA II or III?

[angelofwar]

Nice LE! pretty sure it's HA-III (ala the Emerson/Remington models). Never seen a dull type-II SF. I have seen "shinier" type-III though. Nice though! I'm still trying to find the pic of that "white power" C2-HA-BK Bezel, (referring to the white light, of course). I think DaFab had it???
