Hi All.

OK I never thought I would sell these but other hobbies are pushing for funds
so, with a sad and heavy heart, here we go.

Up for sale are
SOLD VERY rare McGizmo prototype titanium lights.

First on the block is the fabled 27XR-T Proto
Don (McGizmo) made 4 of these lights as Ti27LTs
and although they were never publicly offered for sale 3 of them escaped into the wild and I am only aware of one ever changing hands. The light I have for sale is the '4th light' which served as Don's personal dive light for many years. During the time he had it he updated it to an XR led and when I managed, with considerable effort, to prize it from his grasp he re-named it a 27XR-T
The light is shown here fitted with an optional Mofo crenulated Ti bezel ring but the original McGizmo one which fits entirely within the head will be included in the sale as well. The light has obviously been used (by Don) but is in extremely good condition. I did give it a light polish when I first got it but this has faded somewhat now.

This is a one of light and a piece of CPF history!


$1950

Second up is the PD 27-T Bead Blasted Proto
Again this one came direct from Don who I am reasonably certain made only 4 of these lights the others without the bead blasting.


This light is in unused condition with a couple of very small light handling marks.

These are distinguished from the later production 27 by the position of the teardrops, double O rings on the head to body union, a different length PD piston and of course the screw in bezel.


$1450

Wow, I would love the "angle gizmo" but knew it was out of my budget, even before I saw the price! Awesome lights!

Oh I wish I had enough for Don's personal diving light. I don't live near any oceans or seas but it would definitely be my new favorite bathtub toy!

Re: FS 3 VERY Rare McGizmo prototype Ti lights!

I have had a very informative and interesting PM from a member with an encyclopedic knowledge of Dons proto lights and I know believe that there may be 4 PD27T (PD27L?) prototypes in the wild with my one being the only bead blasted version. These are distinguished from the later production 27 head by the position of the teardrops, double O rings on the head to body union, a different length PD piston and of course the screw in bezel. One of the attractions of Don's prototypes is the mystery that often surrounds them and their details, sometimes even Don can't remember! So this is a 1 of 1 in the fact that it is bead blasted but probably a 1 of 4 as a PD27T / PD27L prototype. I have amended the OP to reflect this.

I'm open to sensible offers especially if anyone wants both lights.
