indeed! i belive these first models arnt too common? dont think i will get rid of it any time soon the first models came with the original '525 slidy'complete with blackbeards mug on the rod,a slight change was made in that loveable mug being removed,then the 2nd generation ppt came along,painted tip,525 supermag,the early supermags(i think) had gold handles because they did'nt have the graphics at the time to make identifying the 2 different models,not too sure if the viper had neils face on it,the sidewinder i sold lee did,and the butt was yellow....has yours got the bearded one's face on it coddo? |
