Time to get this to a new home, I think.
This is one of a handful of titanium PD-S units that has been plated with aluminum-titanium-nitride (AlTiN) which is one of the hardest coatings out there, usually reserved for high-speed tooling.
This is the eight-flute version, the latest Ti-PD-S design. It uses a Seoul P4 emitter at (I believe) 525ma/25ma for wonderful high and low modes. This light does have a tritium slot (and the piston is plated too), with bright green tritium inside. This light was bead-blasted before plating which gives it a very nice texture, as well as making the plating almost stealth-bomber matte - it's quite difficult to photograph correctly. It was assembled by Don, and has never been disassembled or modded. I haven't even taken the bezel ring off.
I won this light in the CPF Raffle last July, and I've used it almost every day since. I live in Southeast Alaska, and this light has been clipped to my front pocket nearly every day since I got it - I'm a nature photographer, hiker, and network engineer for remote telecon tower sites, so it's been put to the use it was intended.
Because of this, the light is not in mint condition. There is some light damage to the plating as documented below - the light itself functions flawlessly.
As you can see, this is the clip of the light. The outside of the clip has several small scratches, which you can see around the longer slot in the clip. These are about the size of the point of a sewing needle.
This is the butt of the light. You can see the machining texture and the bead blasting marks that the plating adhered to, as well as the several small wear and rub marks this end of the light has. The light areas in this pictures are not reflections, they are points where the plating has worn through or is simply lighter in colouration than the rest of the plating. As with all extreme close-ups, this makes the marks look far worse than they actually are - but take a look at the back of your PD (Come on, you know you have one
) and see how small they actually are.
Asking price on the light is 625.00USD shipped Priority insured anywhere in the world, no Paypal fees.
Trades considered as well - I'm most interested in an XR-19C, but other offers likely happily considered.
