Hello,

I have a LB3, it has Nickel Silver bolsters. When I bought it I gave the LB5 I was carrying to a friend in the place where I was working. I'm nearly sure (but not positive) that it had Nickel Silver bolsters too. This was around 1995-96.

But, the only ones I can find have Brass ! Am i mistaken in my memory, NOT for the first time :o or were LB5's made with Nickel Silver ?

If so they must be a fair bit rarer than Brass .... were they more expensive/cheaper when manufactured ?

Thanks,

Mark :)
 
No, your memory is fine. (on this one anyway :D ) I picked up a mint, used one a few months ago & it has nickel silver bolsters. I have a couple LB7's, but never saw the LB5 before this one. It's a great size for EDC & I really like it alot. I'd pick up a new one in a heartbeat if I came across one.
