EDIT: TL;DR SKIP TO THE BOTTOM FOR SUMMARY
Howdy folks. So, I feel a little...apprehensive about posting this, as I generally dislike bugging people, especially ones that I've either just met, or am talking to for the first time, but...here goes... And if I'm out of line for posting this, please let me know. I just feel like this would be the best place to turn.
I'm looking for an Active Duty in a specific color scheme. One to match my AMS, which would be green and black G10 handles and a tanker gray finish. That being said, you may notice 2 (potentially large) problems with this...
The first would be the fact that I'm looking for something that is no longer produced with a specific look, and therefore the probability of finding one drops significantly. To be honest, I have no idea when the model was released, and if such a color scheme was even available at the time, so I could be grounded before I've even had a chance to take off.
The second thing is money, or more specifically the lack thereof. I don't have a lot of disposable income, so there is absolutely no way I can afford one outright. I quite literally broke the bank buying my AMS, which unfortunately was a bit impulsive, and I'm still trying to get my legs back under me, so to speak. So that pretty much restricts me to trades. Of course, the problem with that is that once again, due to a lack of cashola, the knives I have available for trade aren't exactly top tier. I've got a couple ZT's, a couple Spyderco's, a Fallkniven, and a Benchmade that are really the only things I have that might actually be worth anything.
So, folks at the Busse forum, I come seeking your aid. Does anyone know where I can find one, or somebody who's willing to trade for it? I've kept an eye out on the exchange, but all I've seen so far are people wanting either cash or other Busse's in trade, and I have neither. I understand that this is a lot of me to ask, considering my current position, and especially considering that no one here really knows me, but I know that if anyone can help me with this, it's definitely you guys. I would be eternally grateful for any assistance at all, even if all you can do for me is read this.
Thank you for your time.

EDIT: Right, so this got shuffled around a bit and it's presently 0319 local, so I'll just plop a summary down here so you don't have to slog through all that, but I would like to keep it there for context.
Anywho, bottom line is I'm looking for a Busse Active Duty. Preferably one with green and black G10 handle scales and a tanker gray finish. The knives I have available to trade are as follows:
ZT 0561 (couple small marks on pocket clip from carry, but never used. Have box and paperwork)
ZT 0121 (never used or carried, but secondary retention strap has a couple small cuts from drawing/resheathing. Have box, no paperwork)
Emerson EDC-1 multitool (user, some coating wear. Very tip of punch is broken off. Have box, but is beat up from shipping. No paperwork)
Spyderco Manix 2 (black g10, satin s30v blade. Never used or carried. Have box, no paperwork)
Spyderco PM2 Brown Exclusive in s35vn (user, small mark on blade. Have box and paperwork)
Fallkniven F1 (lam. vg-10 blade, zytel sheath. Small scuff marks on tip from sheath. Secondary retention strap removed from sheath. Box beat up from shipping. No paperwork)
Benchmade Adamas Fixed Blade (never used or carried. Brown paracord wrapped handle. Has sheath but no tek-lok. No box)
If a trade cannot be reached, I will move to sell. Contact me at Armithius(at)gmail(dot)com if interested or for pics. Not interested in any other trades at this time.
Thank you for your consideration.
