It doesn't look like brass
Well just got in from the shop a few minutes ago and checked tracking just for the heck of it, originally it said was to be delivered Tuesday. Low and behold it said delivered, wow that was quick. So down to mailbox and sure enough.
As I unboxed the 111 I could see the yeller brass thru the foam package )-: )-:

Ya, not happy with it at all, even if it was just one. I wanted NS and would not have bought them if they were so stated as being half and half.I think if had ordered 2 and they both came the same way, I think I would be upset. 1 of each would be good though...It would have been better if Buck would have mentioned the 2 color bolsters...
Nice Vanguard, the bear cut out is cool. I didn't remember it saying anything about the bear on the pommel.
Sounds good,I had been eyeing that 921 myself...…………… Your a heck of a salesman, I just bought the last one.
I'm not real fond of Buck's sheaths on these so...…
Still looking for that Alpha tho.
That one has some nice looking walnut. Did you buff that wood?
I purchased a 111 in nickel silver. I would have liked to pick up one in brass as well but figured I would just stick to the nickel silver. Or so I thought.
I just received the knife in the mail and low and behold I have a nickel version and a brass version. Problem is it is all on the same knife.
Nickel silver on one side with brass pins and brass on the other side. What's up with that.
The pins are silver on the nickel silver and brass on the brass side.
Actually I like it so I am going to keep it. Anyone else get theirs and are the others all brass or nickel? Did I get an odd one, a mistake maybe? or are they all this way.
Remember, the 2 pictures below are of the same knife.

thank you Sir. no I didnt. took out of box and took pic.That one has some nice looking walnut. Did you buff that wood?
I was hoping the wood on mine would be as dark as on my 55......
But it's still cool to have a big/ little set.
Great 111!
