GEC question

For those in the know, did Great Eastern ever make a non linerlock #73 Scout in Brimstone bone? I'm thinking of collecting all the brimstone styles. I've seen 2 different blade styles on the #23 in non liner, (spey and clip) and the the liners comes only in clip for 23 and 73. But I've never seen a non linerlock Scout in Brimstone.

They made 6 of them; without serial numbers.

There's a non linerlock Pioneer with a single spey blade here:

There's also a brimstone 3 blade whittler on that same site; among other models with brimstone handles..

Yes, at one time I had matching 23/73 sets made. Don't remember how many; but they are gone now...

Ooh, only 6. So much for that~ LOL!

The 6 was a Tidoute short run. Notice a Northfield run of 32 as well in 2008; that must have been the count on my exclusives. So I would say your chance of finding one just got a lot better...

Aha! I didn't know there were any Northfields at all with Brimstone handles.
