117 and 118 came today! I am very pleased with their condition as it looks like they have never been shot or carried. I had never seen a "real" R9 (no sights) in person - very cool and I like that the set consists of one of each. I also was really interested to see the frame color of the early early guns in person because of the recent debate. I would have to agree that Richards description of "bronze" does seem more fitting than "plum" or "light grey", although I have seen pictures that can make it a lot more purple than it does in person. IMHO pictures can never do any of these guns justice and they always look much better in person.
Anyway, I got the pups together for a group shot:
Thanks everyone for the kind words and Adam thanks again for the lead!
