Hey ya porkers! 
I'm pretty sure that particular LE never left the compound.
A FBM LE #13 was sold but IIRC, it was with the 3 scallops like the other LEs.
The pattern in the micarta looked different as well.
I think Cobalt got the #13 from the factory, but later it. He may know more for sure...
but at the time when I got my LEs, i remember a little WTF moment when they arrived
with the 3 scallops versus 2 like on the CGs.
Anyway... send an email to Busse, they may share whether or not its out there to be had. Good luck!
Just because pics are fun!
This is still one of my favorite Mistresses

I have one just like yours, it's normal like the other FFBM's except it has the first sighting of the NM treatment. I beleive some had it and some didn't on the red black G10 FFBM's
Also they were the last FFBM's to be released.

Still odd with this one... its a CGFFBM no?
Then My CGFFBM ...
Why does mine have the extra scallop?

Man, this thread has some sweet pics/blades in it! :thumbup:
Still odd with this one... its a CGFFBM no? NO, it is only .25 thick, it is a CGFBM without CBT grooves that was a unique special offering at Blade this year.
Then My CGFFBM ...
Why does mine have the extra scallop? Typically, the third scallop is indicative of an FBM being thicker than .25 and one of the few ways besides grooves to know that an FBM in a pic is not a CGFBM with the .25 stock. Sadly, it doesn't tell you where in the range from .27-.33 it actually is.

Good catch kniferMan. I hadn't noticed the difference till you mentioned it.
That FBMLE #13 is differnt than any I've seen. The spine does look more like the CGFBM spine.
My FBMLE and CGFBM....
Yeah, I think only the boss knows the answers to my question
. Great collection mamun!
