I have one that is a bit cracked around the rivets that I have been thinking about repairing, if you are interested I can send pics tonight

Hi Lads,

Thanks for the link Tomo.

Harv4130 - sure, can you send them to: mshort@thefurniturepractice.com

What colour is it?

Black

After the very elusive Violet I think....

Elusive

you are correct, long day at work! Pffffffff

Exclusive

Adj. 1. illusive - based on or having the nature of an illusion; "illusive hopes of finding a better job"; "Secret activities offer presidents the alluring but often illusory promise that they can achieve foreign policy goals without the bothersome debate and open decision that are staples of democracy"

e·lu·sive (-lsv, -zv)
adj.

1. Tending to elude capture, perception, comprehension, or memory: "an invisible cabal of conspirators, each more elusive than the archterrorist [himself]" (David Kline).
   
2. Difficult to define or describe: "Failures are more finely etched in our minds than triumphs, and success is an elusive, if not mythic, goal in our demanding society" (Hugh Drummond).
   

You're hopes of finding a Violet Colt are 'Illusive' and the Violet Colt itself is 'Elusive'.
(can you tell I'm bored at work???)

Anyway, there's one sitting atop my Argos - should you have a Flite in comparable condition I could be talked into a straight swap.

So I was right!!!! Cheers Tomo!!

TS. Is it a violet one? I'm pissed as I was outbid on a NOS Flite on eBay on th weekend.....

Yes. So far as I can tell they've been discontinued - certainly they're not on the Brooks website, although they can be picked up elsewhere online.

I bought mine brand new via here, although it's faded through normal use. Any trade would depend on a Flite though, which from your post I'd have to find from another member before letting the Colt go. It depends whether you can wait for that to happen and if I'm satisfied with the state of any potential replacement.
