Sold/Expired FOUND: Jets22 Brass Goldbird

[Carpe Diem]

Re: WTB: Jets22 Brass Goldbird

Ending one of the longest WTB's ever (over 4 years), I would like to thank Egginator1 for fulfilling my request. He managed to locate this light and sell it to me.

Troy...

This news has brought tears of joy to my eyes. My life is now complete.

WOW!

And Egg...way to go!

Hoooaah!

I just need to find this stubby tail and then I can die happy. I know the CPF member who has it but he has not responded to me in many months. I have offered everything short of my first born for it.

Hmmmm ... I wonder if we have any machinists around here ... ???[emoji317]

Vestureofblood is doing some nice brass work, and is going to spin me a light. He might be willing also, if he has knurling ability. Okluma might do a one off part too. So many talented machinists around here!

What's so special about this light?

It's got a special coating of unobtainium

Legendarily rare handmade custom grail torch ... like the Ganp Griffin, or the tvodrd Larry Light

 

[arewethereyetdad]

If you have to ask....

LOL, just kidding. The light is quite rare (I think maybe only four were made in brass) and the knurling is unique. The little light feels like a little roll of quarters and I have always loved it. I think the last point (my long love affair with this light) is the real draw.

Wow... 4 only...

There's something to be said about a well balanced item. I've sold many lights I thought would be my last. Congrats. The Knurling is quite unique.

Are you insane? Who waits 4 years for a flashlight?

Someone better make a tail for it before you croak...
