Welcome cyberposer!!
I do not believe you will have an accurate determination of when the "change" occurred..

The Bros R have not released the pups in chroni order..Serial wise that is..

I personnally prefer the "Early" blue tint!! :D

 ;)  Forgive me, Brenden, but your comment reminds me of something I can't resist telling -- even though it is entirely out of context and could be said to "drift" this thread.  ("Lord, I apologize.")

Two of everything is good advice, except when it comes to women.  

Back in the '90s, I worked with a man in West Africa who, after having taken two wives, plunged ahead to acquire his allotted quota of six.  According to local law and custom, he was required to give each one of them an equal share of his time, attention, and wealth.  He was a likeable fellow, and a real politician, but I have rarely known anyone who carried around such a wealth of personal problems.  

It came as no surprise for me to learn a couple of years ago that he had gone -- prematurely -- to his eternal reward.  (He may have wanted it that way.)

No idea if there is an actual discernible change point that would match a serial number stage.  Possibly not, tho Eric could I daresay place this transition to an approx number - ball park sorta deal.

I am totally guessing but think perhaps around the 800 region - wild guess tho!

Here for the followers of Tantalus are my pups - they both have the old grips but the older of the two is also the silver frame. :)

Brenden: Barely two years old and the blues grips are already classic! Great guns and cool background!
