NGD: Collector"s Choice 24 - Nicky #140

[KOTR]

Nicky #140 arrived from the HOG last Friday. I considered several examples but I love the wide flames on this one. It looks killer from just about any angle and has tons of movement to the flame. As others have commented, the color changes a lot depending on lighting and the viewing angle. Great weight too at 8lbs 6oz.

I'll hold off any comments about tone as I've only had it a few days but I'm really impressed so far. Great work by Charlie and the guys at the Custom Shop.

Curt at the HOG was super helpful and accommodating. First class treatment and customer service all around. I am feeling very lucky to own this one:

Wonderful. Great color- surprised how many aged they are doing.
This is the first pic that has shown how dramatic the 'Nick' is- what caused the original damage- is that known? Right spot for case bite but pretty big.

I think the nick that led to the name of the real Nicky is on the back of the neck.
