OMG!  I'd run out of adjectives to describe the beauty of the above model. 

From the moment I took mine out of the box when it arrived, it continues to blow my socks off.  IT'S BEAUTIFUL!  And so is the Blue repaint that Danbury Mint gave us too.

Missed the blue one when it came out, didn't hesitate to grab the red/maroon version. I echo the above comments, a real favorite, thanks John
