Does a "2-flats" 6P count as rare or unusual?







I had never seen a 6P like this before, so I snatched it up when the opportunity presented itself. It reminds me of a D2. I have no idea how rare it is. Judging from the Lexan hex bezel and the lock-out tailcap with two witness marks, it looks like it is a very early post-round body 6P. The body has two flats, and each flat has an oval milled into it, with "Surefire 6P" without patent numbers etched within the ovals. The ovals, as well as the logo, are longer on the 2-flats version than on the current version.

WooHoo! The "2-flats" 6P got a matching big brother in the mail today! It looks to be slightly newer, with a single witness mark on the tailcap and a "Hot Surface" bezel. The logo is a little different, also. The 9P has a patent number, and the side with the serial number has Surefire starting from the tailcap end. Interestingly, the blister pack was molded for a light with a clip. Oddly, the packaging contained a user manual for a C2. I wonder if that was a mistake made by Surefire or if the previous owner will one day wonder why his C2 has a 9P manual.

Good score JCD :clap: Glad it went to a CPF member and a collector who already had the 6P flat sided light. Great price as well you cannot go wrong for $65 :thumbsup:

cheers
