Thanks for the pics PH. Looks fantastic. I read on a review that the handles are in fact metal.

Still waiting on the DMC. I received a "split shipment." Strange, huh? The wait is killing me..

I did receive the flintlock, today. It's a number beloved to many POTC fans...

0882??? :confused

My MR CJS compass is number 911/3000! Very scary thought! 9/11...911...get it? Huh?:love

There were 882 cursed coins in the first Pirates film.
Very cool number to get there Scubasteve! :thumbsup

Yes! I'm excited about it, however, the flintlock arrived damaged with some bad nicks on it. The frame was also dirty and had a nice-sized black smudge on it. I really wish I could keep the #, but that's doubtful since both the frame and flintlock are damaged. What a tease, huh? I sent an email to customer care; hope to get a replacement. From the looks of things, it seems as if it was opened and damaged during shipment. I've never had shipping problems before..:wacko

Hopefully the DMC will be A-ok. Trying to figure out a good way to display it. It would be nice to display it with a heart inside, like a couple other members here have done!! :cool

Thanks, mate. Perhaps it's the "Curse of #882"? :eek

Got my replacement flintlock in today. I'm new to MR pieces, so can someone enlighten me on what an "artist proof" is? How is it different from a numbered piece? Sorry if it's a bad question, but I figure you guys can answer it better than anyone else.

Sorry for the fuzzy pic..
