Custom Aleph 3
In very good condition custom anodized blue and black Aleph 3 w/ x2 CR123(x1 17670) Body with McClicky switch. This light will run on x2 CR123, x2 16340s, or x1 17670.
Only flaw is two small knicks on the bezel from unscrewing the bezel ring.
Single speed, Neutral XML, about 300 OTF (slightly brighter than my M61W, with a decent amount of more throw).
$145 shipped USPS w/DC# to a Confirmed Address in the USA.

Malkoff Single AA
Interesting lego here. It's a L1 Body/tail that has been bored by Barry(precisionworks) to accept a single 17500 or AA cell(or 14500) with a VME Head with M31W(early run, neutral…. Not to be run with li ion).
Overall the light is in excellent condition. No drops/etc. There is some very slight ano missing on the knurling for the tail cap from the clip, but, is not noticeable unless looking for it and at certain angles.
Light output on High is about 150 OTF according to Malkoff website. I get about 45 min of constant output on eneloops until battery is a little below 1.20V.
On Low, the output is probably somewhere around 10 lumens IMO. I did a runtime test and got 17 hours until the eneloop was at 1.17V. Using an alkaline, I forgot how many days it ran on low-thinking like 10 days or so, but, the M31 drained the alkaline to less than .50v.(was at a moon mode output tho)

The body will not work with standard E series heads, only the VME/Malkoff heads, because the E series heads positive contact are seated too far into the body. (AA/50mm length is too long). It's possible to use a E series head with a 123 size battery+ a spacer, if needed.

A caveman crafted Delrin sleeve for AA/14500 is included. (was a Oveready x2 AA sleeve that I cut down, sloppily)
Also has a VME tail standing bezel. I'll include the stock retaining ring.
Has a E1B 2 way clip. Works great for bezel down carry.

Asking $180 for the whole package ready to go minus battery.
Or
$105 for the bored body. (bored body, tailcap with VME bezel, E1B clip, and stock retaining ring)

I used some copper tape to make sure the head to body connection is flicker free.

Re: WTS: Custom Anodized Aleph 3

If you'll consider shipping to the UK (I'll pick up the extra), I'll take the L1 lego.
