I had 3 R2 GS and all of them boxes where below 500 - never seer seen or heard of any R2 GS with a higher serial on the box -> is there a thread about this topic with picture evidence of more than one/two cases?
If I remember corretly all R2s of the "old box and flat coin" have no markings on the frame so one would have to trust by box numbering. I.e. there are 750 golden XSs and Juliets according to the box and frame and Oakley but I have seen at least 2 different XS gold only "sample" marked. Therefore one can not either trust the "matched frame and box logic" as well, right?!
Agree and disagree. There is a thread on the scelzi r2s on members who owns them. I disagree on the 24ks, although there are samples and pieces floating around without stamp or markings as a collector you only count matched serials as legit pairs, i mean members here can do platings as well close enough to a 24k. Matched serials are always by any means a legit release if it says 1/750 “it’s 750” no more, no less.
