Purple Surefire A2 Aviator?

I was just wondering if anyone knew any details about the purple Surefire A2. Was it a limited edition or some sort of prototype? Any idea as to how many were made and what they are worth? Thanks!

I don't know how many exist.

I am only aware of one and its owner. He might tell you "they are as rare as rocking horse poo."

He is inclined to say things such as that.

Yeah, I wouldn't get your hopes up of getting one unless you take it somewhere and have it done yourself...

Size15's isn't the only one! :nana:

leukos, that's just photoshopped right?

I believe there were seven or eight made.
They were purchased by a single Dealer who then sold them.
I was lucky enough to purchase one of them from him.

I do not know anybody else [on CPF or any other forum I visit] who has one.

It is my second most precious SureFire after this one:

This is me being jealous of your custom golden E1E
Very cool pair you've got there, anyone else have any interesting/unique surefire colors?

I just have to say this... "The man with the golden light."

These are genuine from SureFire

The E1e-Size15 and the Z2-Golden and the camo 6P are gifts from PK.
The E2e and C2 are "ALPHA Series" pre-pro samples 'stolen' from a SHOT Show booth by the British (so the tale is told)

JT has the best colourful SureFire collection that I'm aware of but PK has been generous with donating colourful SureFire to raffles on CPF so some lucky people have some extremely rare SureFires too!

Thanks for that, I need to get on Paul Kim's good side, lol :kewlpics:

Al, what is/was different about the Alpha Series (aside from the finish)? :thanks:

The concept of the "Alpha Series" was that special limited edition models would be produced and assigned a series (alpha, beta, charlie, delta etc) and sold with matching serial numbers as a collector's set. I believe the Alpha Series C2 & E2e were to come with an Eagle or back then SOE pouch specifically designed for them.

SureFire obviously decided not to limit the run to collector's sets as the camo jungle anodising was much sort after so they just released them individually as special edition products.

Perhaps the Beta Series would have been an E2e & M3 in a different camo finish - we'll likely never know...

Would be really nice if SureFire did this more often on their other line of illumination tools.

:kewlpics: by the way!

There is one other purple A2 but it is somewhat naked (no engraving):

Don, was it hard when you gave it to her?

I meant when Don gave the A2 for her to hold along with his little one.

Now that was a great double entendre.

You're wading in deeper here Al.
