The funny thing is that aside from one off and custom side jobs, the 300's were far from the rarest SHBM's. Satin was more rare than anything else in the production run. Aside from LE's, it was almost impossible to find a satin.

I'm not trying to search forever my friend. I understand that they were not rare comparatively to the satin. I just love the fact that Jerry poured his heart and soul into the design, they all have subtle differences and those who know, KNOW.... THE ORIGINAL MISTRESS CAN'T BE BEAT.. There is a little bit of Jerry in each. This Damn INFI is getting me misty...lol
You know what amazes me. That this thread has become a cool discussion thread and the mods have not deleted all our postings, lol. Yes, the original SHBM run were all different. Even the ricasso plunge line area differed in width.
The original SHBMs were the chit. Just flat out awesome. I was here for the infancy of Busse Combat and it was great.
That said, I miss the heck out of my e-handles... [emoji24]
Now, I'll just wish you congrats again Cobalt, and hope like hell I don't get yellow carded. Lol

I want the center one in your top pic
That center one is one that I had Ban refinish for me. It was beat to hell. I sent it to ban and he finished it for me. After he made it so pretty I moved on to my other users and never used it again. Then sold it off. Regets? I have many
Supposedly, epoxied, but I don't know of anyone who hasn't been able to remove them. I don't think the epoxy lasts that long anyway. I know I have taken the scales off of the third one from the right in the bottom pic with no problem.
Value is subjective. 5-6 years ago, they were going for more, a few years ago they were going for less. I do know that no one sets a fixed price, everyone has room to deal, right. If I didn't already have a few, I would have made a cash offer on that one as well. In fact the more I stare at it the more I like it and I may just do that. Don't hate me but SHBM's are my weakness.
