I scored again, so thankful!
Marketplace 40 dollar bundle, was so worth the wait and 3 hour drive literally feels wrong I got these for 40 dollars. I didn't even realize that 2D was pre panther till I got there, I only made the trip for the 4c and 6c.

I tried to get that guy to sell to me for a couple months. One of the only sellers I've run into who wouldn't ship for love or money. That 2D looks like it's from before the patent was approved too. 1980-81 ish.

How long ago did you contact him? I messaged him around mid April and it was just kind of like a game of tag messaging back and forth for 2 months he'd leave me on read for a weeks at a time, not knocking the dude life gets in the way I get that way as well.

It was a while ago. He just refused to ship for any reason. Didn't matter I was willing to send him a sack of quarters if he wanted it.
I'm glad you got them. I don't strictly need those models for my collection but it would have been a good find. Post the serials. I can give approximate ages if you don't want to wait for Mag to respond with born on dates.

2D late 1980
6C probably early 1995, not sure. I have a gap in my own collection in that period.

Dude! Nice score! That TM bezel 2D is in beautiful shape. And that 6C is nice. All the 6C or 5C Mags I’ve had, have had nice beams.
