Consecutive "CTB" serial numbers :D

Very nice...

Was there any particularly unique work performed to get these 'helium filled?'

jeez if you added an officers model to that I would have thought I'd died and went to heaven :)

The new owner is a very lucky man.

Helium filled? Where's the zirk valve? Helium leaks, you know.

Nice guns, indeed.

S'quite a pair, Tim--- beautiful stuff.

Back in high school I was riding observed (English) trials. I wanted to fill my bike's tires and frame tubes with helium...... my brother figured it out for me-- I'd save like half a .45 slug's worth of weight. I said, in the frame tubes we can pump a bunch of it in under pressure..... he pointed out that more of anything, even something light, = more weight :mrgreen:

Tim,

Very pretty set. Reminds me of the stainless twins at the 2009 SHOT show. What kind of finish was applied to these frames? And why didn't you FlatBack the slides on these?

Thank you, d.

The frames are hard anodized. The gent these were built for didn't want the FlatBack treatment. :(

Thanks for the kind compliment fellas.
