Latest Addition - L56 IAB

[Tim Curley]

Fischer,

No, all my L/56 IABs are Silver.

But your mention of Bronze reminds me - Last week Mike Heuer sold a number of IABs to include a Silver one in "steel." I have a bunch of these Silver IABs in steel and normally you only see the steel IAB in Silver. But, some where along the way I have acquired a steel IAB in Bronze. Anyone else have one of these?

Are you talking about the steel Shuco design?. If thats the case i would realy like to see the bronze version.

Hi Tim

You are referring to the ShuCo steel variant correct?

Best Regards, fischer

Nice addition Tom

These L/56's used to be a favourite of mine, I think because they were so chunky.

I just find it more and more amazing that none of these have really popped up until now. I have dozens on file, all of which have the round wire catch so I am really surprised that no one had payed attention to this before. That is what I love about this hobby, we find something new every week it seems.

Thanks guys.

Tom

I think we need to clarify this a little Tom. You have found something new this week !! This is not a new variant, never seen before. I suspect there are many in collections.

Here are a couple more

Maybe so Graeme, but there are some serious IAB collectors that posted in this thread that have never seen these either

For sure Tom, a less common catch.

I just felt it should be pointed out, that even though others have not seen this variation, this was not a variation that had not been seen before, and several of the posts were pointing in that direction.

Just trying to be accurate I guess.

cheers
