Gents - thanks for the recent various tips and suggestions. They were most appreciated. This is such a wonderful forum. Just acquired my very first AP from my favorite dealer. Needless to say, I am most excited. I love the story and historic significance ...
Most everyone enters into AP with an octagonal piece - myself included, back in 2001. But this CODE 11.59 is simply exceptional, and I believe you made an outstanding choice!
Would also be curious what a AP’s deployant costs too. The last time I visited an AD they didnt really give me the time of day and seemed a bit annoyed.
