Thanks Eric.
I am not sure of any real story on the one in question. Please don't quote me on this and if I am inaccurate in any way, "I BLAME PORKESON".
Seriously though, it is my understanding that this particular BAIII came from Busse as a 2 Tone Variant to match a 2 Tone LMS Variant. They both were hand ground by the Boss himself..... I don't remember if Jerry actually confirmed this..... I did inquire though and recall something along the lines of him stating these were Variants and came from Busse this way.
To the best of my knowledge, these were then sold from this un-named HOG to someone that sold these to myself. That would make me the 3rd owner. Hopefully the final..... at least until they get inherited by my children.
I do not know for sure one way or another if these particular 2 blades were the only ones made like this..... only the Boss would know that I presume. I have not seen any others like it though..... but I have only been around a short time.
