Do you think this was the factory listing those?  They look like the shot show guns, I will have to check the S/Ns when I am back on my puter.

I contacted VZ about those blue cf grips and the girl that answered the phone was totally clueless, after a long wait she returned and said you would need to contact Rohrbaugh about them. ::)

The Tribute on GB shows a SN of 6228 and the envelope with fired cases says 04/16/12.  New listing is:

I cannot wait for my Tribute Edition to arrive! :)
It should be within the next couple of weeks.

I will post some pictures once it arrives.

The Tribute is one good looking Rohrbaugh.  The pictures have got me to thinking..................... :)

I ordered one once I saw it.

I hope to someday own another silver framed FARMINGDALE!

I was really impressed with these pictures.  The frame looked more silverish than the first one; so now I'm hooked.    :)

I agree. I am really excited to have one on order. It will be kind of cool to have an original silver framed blue gripped R9 and the tribute to it. The VZ blue CFs are really well done and IMHO do look better than the originals. Are R343, R600 or any of the other silver framed farmies still floating around the forum?

I know R343 is now owned by a fellow forum member.

I am not sure about any others.

I wonder how many Tributes they will end up making. I'm guessing they will be more of a special order gun than one that dealers will stock.

I'm thinking the same.  Probably will be very few sold; just guessing, too.  However, that could be a good thing.
