Show your Rare/Unusual SureFires - Part 3

[stk10767]

Found in my tool chest recently.

 

[Lomandor]

Been some time since I have been around, was going through some boxes today and found these

 

[Lomandor]

Here is a rather rare bird that I just acquired.

Nice! Here is there brother and sister

Did any one notice the sale of an orange C2 and E2e? Last night on ebay.
$2,425! Once in a lifetime opportunity. Perhaps we'll hear from them here. Gotta be a member.

Missed that, did they sell for that price?

Currently on thEbay

Yes they did. I'm always amazed at how many items sell on fleabay and then we never hear from the person who bought them.

 

[Blackbird13]

I wish they'd repost those orange beauties. On CPF

 

[Blackbird13]

He had those once before on here , but thanks to all the pictures lost, we can't go back in this thread and enjoy. Surely whoever baught them has seen this forum

 

[LightJunk]

Just acquired this. Model T1 head on an old school 6R body/talicap. Not collecting Surefires nowadays but the deal was too good to pass.

Whoa!! That’s impressive!!

I picked up another E2e on eBay. I thought it was unusual to find no engraving or s/n. I'm no Surefire expert, is this very common?

 

[LiftdT4R]

Is it missing engraving on both sides?

If so, it looks like an aftermarket Lumensfactory body and tail to me. They make nice stuff!! I've been meaning to pick one up.

That was my thought, too ....

 

[MMD]

Yes, missing engraving on both sides.

The tail does have Surefire engraving. The body looks identical to a Surefire! I am comparing to other Surefire bodies and the machining looks the same.

Does anyone have a confirmed Lumens Factory body or knows how to distinguish them other than the engraving?

The long clip does look like the Lumens Factory...

edit to add: Are there any non-engraved E2e bodies known to exist?

 

[sidfishez]

I wondered about the unengraved E2e's too. One seller had four of them, all black. As I remember they all had the long clips. The same seller also had several honest E2e HA's and one in Black, all with short clips. And for a moment, also had for sale ten mint Black E series heads.

Lumens Factory bodies look more like HA BK with a flat finish. The ones for sale had some sheen to them. I am wondering even now if I shouldn't have picked one up.....

My wife thought I was looking at porn from the other room after hearing my reaction to this pic.....



Eh, can't blame her!

I took a close look at the machining and found it looked identical to other Surefire a I have. I ended contacting the seller and he showed me some compelling evidence that he worked at Surefire for several years. He told me the light I have was part of a overrun and that it was pulled before engraving. I’m super happy to have this rare Surefire!
