Serial Number of IDF Autavias, Please
In Response To: three more IDF autavias ()


OK, guys . . . please e-mail the serial numbers and reference numbers to me (if you are willing to do so), and let's see how they might fall out / what we might learn. I am guessing that we will see a chronological sequence of numbers, across the various models, with relatively scarce issuance (less than 2,000 pieces).

: Here are three more IDF Autavias. I prefer not to give the exact
: military engraved numbers, but they look close to the sequence
: of Alistair's ones. There seem to be both italicised (slanted)
: font and non-slanted on the 11063's. The engraving is always
: done in a similar style, with the circles of the engraving tool
: visible within the letters.

: The first is the classic black 11063, supposedly from the IDF Navy,
: so the background is a USN F-4 (but Japanese magazine), not
: quite connected but you get the idea, and I always liked F-4s
: (even more than Ferraris etc). Serial number is within 20 of
: Alistair's one of the same model. Non-italicised letters.
:

: The next is the manual model. I really like this. The olive green
: NATO strap is my addition but it goes perfectly with the
: patina'd lume. Serial number is again 20 or so within Alistair's
: manual model. Numbers are italicised.
:

: The final is a bit unusual, as it is a green pvd 11063. Source was
: from Israel. Serial number is high like on the later black
: 11063's, but about 150 or so higher than the black models (non
: italicised) so presumably later.
