H13 has arrived - pics inside!

The "CR H13" is remarked
It is bigger than the other H sebenzas
But I think it is not a fake
We can found the original "CR H13" in your macro pic
Pls notice the type of "3" is same with other H sebenzas
There must have a story if CR still rememder why he remarked it

Interesting. Lisa, you did mention that it was scuffed up a little. You could send it to CRK for a spa treatment/tune-up and ask them to give you a box and a certificate of authenticity/ birth card.
 
Wow, that's an awesome find, I just got my first Sebenza today a large Insingo, and I see why so many like them.

Sharp eyes, Hope! I was going to comment similarly -- the font looks like that of the numbered regulars. (among other places, you can see this font in DallasSTB's most impressive collection of numbered regular UGs:

I would surmise that the "rebadging" of H13 occurred sometime after 1996, when the regulars came out. Lisa, from your videos, it's clear that the lockup is not typical as well. It will be interesting to get Chris's comments on that. I don't know when lock bar heat treating began. I'm sure there's an interesting story behind all of this.
 
Fooj can you post a photo of your lockup so that I can see the difference please?

She knows, Brother. I hope you dont' mind, but here's a picture of the lettering on 41 I took last fall.

Does anyone have an "H" that is close to my number 13 that they can post a photo of? I've only seen H30 and up photos.

Hope is using the online image of H36 from an internet CR dealer. He may have bought it, but I don't know. I found this larger picture in their archives. Haven't seen <30 myself though (yet!)
