Lets talk GEC!

Yeah definitely an interesting combination with the acrylic...will be curious to see how those end up. It doesn't seem like the shield will have a lot of contrast in that material but will find out I guess.

I think it could look like that.

Not sure if these have been posted here already. Pics from GEC - pretty sure I'm reposting. Hope to see some different shield options. Maybe at least one of them won't have a hotdog?

Still wondering what a tulip shield is going to look like.

GEC has used it before. Pics are on the net - try GEC site.

The upcoming #29 is starting to appeal to me, if it's a split back.

I've checked GEC's website where they list the shields with pictures. There is no tulip shield listed or shown there. I've also done a google image search without luck. Maybe I'm not doing the most accurate search, but I'm surprised I've not come up with anything.

The 29 is the one I’m most excited for, by far.

I will see if I can find it. I think I was looking at 2009 or earlier acrylics and came across it. I might be wrong. If I can find it again I will post it.

Guess I'm gonna have to get a 97. I love coke bottle knives and it's on the larger side. Just need a GEC one with 440C and I'd be real happy.

I’m hoping for an 86 barlow

So GEC’s “what’s happening” pictures show some elk horn marked as being for the upcoming 85 run... clerical error?

Thanks! I sent them an email asking if they had a picture. I'll comb through the productions years as well.

Have we figured out yet what Springfield Bone is? I live in Springfield and I still don't know.

Tulip shield could be a variant of the Acorn...with bits chopped off

Maybe the polished stag for the CK SFO?

See, and I was thinking it might be a corset with the bottom nipped.

Elk is labeled for the #99

It looks like they updated it, I screenshotted it saying #85. Looks like a simple mislabel, the universe is back in balance!

Kinda send like the two blade 14s will have pen blades with a nearly sunken joint...

I heard back from Chris at GEC. The tulip shield is a BRAND NEW shield design!
