Mean Street ?

armsraised · May 31, 2002

I just picked this up today. My first Busse. It is a mean street correct? Who can tell me more? Is it INFI? When was it made, value, and what do you guys call these pins? Smooth? I like it a lot, I just want to know exactly what I've got.
Thanks, Michael

Oooh, is that a beauty! Congratulations!

Do you think you wanna keep it?

I guess so.

If not, I´ll take it.

Yes, it looks like a Mean Street.
I assume it is not INFI.

Michael,
Yes it's a Mean Street, I'm guessing A-2. Better wait for
some of the more knowledgable Busse guys to check in.

Very nice find!!

Sweet find, where did you get it?

armsraised · May 31, 2002

I got it in a trade with a friend, who didn't know much about it either.
OK so it's looking like it is A-2 and not INFI.

What else?
Age?
Value?

thanks again

Very nice. Looks like the A-2 era. Value ranges from around $225-$350 from what I've seen.

Not INFI but a nice looking condition.

Nice trade Michael

Definitely should be A2 judging by the sheath and handle fasteners

I'd guess she's up around $250-300 NIB

Yep, A2 IMHO. The solid handle fasteners and sheath are the indications I went by. It looks like it's in great condition! Nice find

Nice catch & pix!

Hey Michael,

Your pic looks identical to the A2 MS that is in the flyer Jerry sent me when the SH2 and the rest of the A2 line was new.

As a point of reference, if your buddy bought it new from Jerry it likely cost him $137.00. Nice increase.

Beautiful find. I don't know what you traded for it but, I'll bet you got the better deal
