Show your Rare/Unusual SureFires - Part 2

[Rat]

I did not know that either until i received the lights. The seller did not mention that it had the Taurus Firearms logo :thumbsup:.

What a surprise that would of been. Good score.
Keep me in mind if you are ever looking at selling these :naughty:

cheers

 

[Monocrom]

Awesome! I didn't know the collection was made with any other logos-besides SF.:thumbsup:

You'd be amazed at the sheer number of different logos SureFire has placed on the bezels of some of their lights.

Hi gang
Just scored a cool Surefire for my collection. I think it qualifies as rare I know I have never seen one for sale before.


It is one of the early Hellfighters know as the Hellfire. It is in mint condition which is great for a light of this age. I was told it would have been turned on less than an 1hr from new. The serial number is #H00882

I have been after one of these for a long time hard to get down here to Australia.

What do you guys think ?

cheers

Nice score Rat. Did you get the batteries, cables and peli case with it?

 

[angelofwar]

Whoa! Awesome Rat! Yeah, that was one of the few times SF actually goofed, as there was already a flashlight called the "Hellfire", so, yeah, there's not too many of these Hellfires in civvies hands. The flames are a major plus!

Think about the military context for the real reason SureFire switched names.

 

[Toohotruk]

Interesting...I can see why they changed the name. I like the look of those flames on the Hellfire, but I think both names are pretty cool though. :naughty:

Makes sense...but I coulda sworn I read about that on CPF a few years ago??? Probably had too much Guiness that night...???

Ha-Ha! I built my share of those in Iraq! I was thinking the Hell-Fire might be considered insensitive, given the semi-religious context of it.

I should have had this thread marked for email notification I forgot all about it

It came with the Hellfire and Hellfire peli case that is also marked Hellfire. No Cable No batteries.

Not too many around you say that's good to know. When I first realised it was the Hellfire version I was a little bit disappointed it was not the current version. But then I had time to think about it I am now so happy it is the first version before the name change.

I also read that the other day in an old post about another Flashlight with the same name Hellfire. I suppose either reason would be more than enough. So it was not the Guiness.


cheers

[angelofwar]

Nice ficklampa! Ya able to get a pic of it with a baton on it??? I think these were made specifically for the ASP batons, IIRC???

But of course I can, sir. Yes, they are made for ASP batons, I guess they will work with other brands too if they use the same thread size though.

I found those pictures over the internet, at an asian forums. None of them are mine. Seems that there are some serious Surefire collectors over there. Take a look at the rare red 3P, and what about the ultra rare blue 3P :naughty:; There are some PK's signed L6 Porcupines.

That is not a 3P body. What is it?

It is a 3P indeed.

 

[Helmut.G]

It is a 3P indeed.

It is much longer than any 3P body I've ever seen and it's knurled.

Let me guess...... 3R?

This is not rare at all, it's one of the most common lights on CPF and it's not even discontinued.
But it is a bit unusual, as the laser engraving is totally off-center:
