Does anyone know if SF has ever offered any lights with a special coating like Duracoat or Gunkote?

SO MANY NICE LIGHTS HERE!!!:eek::eek:oo::naughty:

Been a while since I've posted here...

Here's a VERY EARLY OLD SCHOOL CROSSHAIRS LOGO M3 Body that I just posted for sale over at the marketplace.:sigh:
The person who sold it to me said it was a prototype.
Thier husband works or used to work for SF.
Notice how the logo overflows the original "Flat" where the logo is usually contained....
Hopefully it will go to a collector.

Hey I now own that body :thumbsup:

Still looking for an early matching bezel and tailcap anybody ?

:wave:

"the matching bezel" was produced in another shape too, even than the very early serial M3, here is photo of the box where you can compare bezel shape on the box with the light, on the box pictured the same style body logo as on your M3's body

You can see that body on the left with a fill in bezel.

Today, finally waited cherished silver-black box, for a long time waiting for this moment, like a genie in a bottle))



I could not resist and unpacked immediately after a meeting with the courier, and of course the opportunity to immediately sat down for a detailed inspection.
In the hands of one of the first M3 Combatlight.






So let's take a look inside...
inside we have a Combatlight peacefully waiting for Combat-time )))





Very pleased with the old booklet with advertising and a mini catalog of products and of course the old advertising, where a small Surefire 3P putting down a hefty Maglite.





The man from the advertising mustache as was fashionable in the '90s )))



Old inscription on the button, a heating soul of any collector.




And indeed some it is all a genuine, simple and reliable, no frills.



Well, the most delicious dessert:
Taadaam...
Crosshair logo, and very beautiful, and for this model is particularly well suited serial number - A00003








By the way it is written with a ballpoint pen on the box






21-st Century Technology -- Today It was the motto of the company.
Surefire really produced flashlights of the future, because now in the future, they are much more expensive and valuable
than it was in the past.

...And he is still rocking the moustache. It has a goatee for company now though. Alterman- Holy sweet low serial number! That is an awesome score. Congratulations!

His books on self-defense are classics..... And still valid today.

I could be wrong, but I don't think he's a member here. I have to say it, by the way. Dibs on that M3 if you ever decide to sell it! Can't believe nobody else put that up here in public... :)
