Very interesting info as always crutchtip .

Since i have been collecting early Randall's ( only about 3 years ) IMO and in my experience the WWII #1 Fighters are not that rare at all .

I have seen dozens and dozens for sale on Ebay and on dealers/collectors sites.

But i do notice that in 8" length they are harder to come across . I read somewhere that Mr. Randall did not consider an 8" length as ideal ?

I have seen more thong links for sale than drilled through butt hole ones . So i suspect there were more WWII thong link Randall's produced ?
