Probably. Banggood to usa shipping very random. Sometimes it will get to USA and just sit there for 2-4 weeks.
Banggood used to have a china tracking # that would change when it got to US. now its just the US one so i can’t see if its even shipped yet (by carrier)
I think all is coated, but the battery tube is not. I can say more tomorrow. The battery tube smells like copper and the rest not. The bezel is not copper. When you go to high or turbo, the light comes through the coating itself and it shines a bit. We know it from the ff-light E07 copper. It’s the same Look.
The quality is very good so far. No dents or scratches at all. The last lights in copper or brass arrived in vacuum plastic bags, but this light doesn’t. So I think the coating is the answer.
I have a couple questions for everyone here who ordered a Brass or Copper FT03 -
1. Is this Limited edition FT03 your first FT03?
2. Are you planning on using this Limited Edition Normally? Like in your “rotation”. Or will this be more of a shelf/box queen?
The reason i ask is because i am torn on what i will do. I already have a ft03 and a ft03s. I am contemplating just unboxing my Copper ft03s when it comes in, admiring it briefly and making sure it works, and then putting it back in the box to keep its pristine-ness. I have about 30 flashlights, and i use them all. obviously some more then others, but i don’t have any boxed up - meaning this would be the only one. It seems silly to me on one hand to box a cool light like this, but on the other hand it is a limited edition… This will also be my first “limited edition” light as well.
Thanks for the feedback. Im just wondering what others who bought into this unique/specialty light were thinking. I mean lets face it, a 700+ gram, beautiful copper or brass thrower isn’t the most utilitarian type of light, it screams more “fancy” to me then hunting/camping/hiking like i use other lights for. to be honest, i was pretty certain i didn’t want this light because i couldn’t see a practical use for it. then again it is so cool i couldn’t help but to buy it. lol
