Foy, I’m glad you like the new club. To everyone else, I’m sorry my combination of greed/short supply kept me from doing a wider group deal.
And for the record, I’m Canadian, eh; currently in the sunshine of the Bay Area, but had been living in Scotland for a few years. Foy was very patient to wait so long for my shipping container to arrive from overseas.
(And I cringe at the promotion that’s about to follow, but here goes: I’m about to sell off a couple of these on CPFM. They’ll be at scary CPF prices, so be forewarned. If you want an email alerting you to the sale a week in advance, PM me here with your regular email address. It’ll just be the one note, blind copied so nobody else will see your email address and nothing else.)
CPF! Hey, don't feel bad, that's where the money is. It's where I take my lights if they don't sell here, LOL. Money pays the bills, nothing wrong in that.
@Foy - You are keeping it stock I imagine? How much does the light weigh without batteries in it? Just curious.
This sounds like a very rare light Foy. A nice addition to your collection. Did I see Mr Lumens frothing at the mouth when he asked if you were keeping it stock?
I bumped into a security guard that was telling all about his old 7 cell lights last year, but till now I’ve never seen larger than a 6 cell.
I own a late 80’s 5D cell maglite and a current 5D maglite.
There beasts, keep em safe and it’ll probably be worth a pretty penny in another 20 or 30 years.
So, yours would be the same older version with no begining C in the serial number. There are other differences as well. The head o-ring on the older version rolls snug over the flashlight tube threads as you slide the head on before engaging the threads. The tail cap is a little different too.
I wonder when they made the change? I have a previous design 2C that came to me in an unopened factory box with a 1996 copyright, which means it could have been printed perhaps quite a few years after that.
I'm almost embarrassed that I find this interesting.
