Right sorry again !!!! I'm only just finished reading Mumbo so confusing and the M Frame thread and will be adding something exciting to that soon, yes you guessed it another box !!!!
But back to the SI 2.0s . How can you tell early ones ie I collect up to 2006 the date they were issued. It appears they are still being sold now even though the 3.0s have been out for years and not just under industrial but still under ballistic is there anyway to tell them apart.
Also the M frame new in crystal red - came out in 2010 only ? Thank you as always

The first year or so of the SI M Frame 2.0 had a metal icon. I assumed they all did until recently when someone told me that they moved to the molded icon like the 3.0. They still sell them since there's probably a need for ones with ear socks.

As for the crystal red M Frame, the originally cane out in 2010, but recently were reissued with black lenses as Vault Exclusives MPH editions

I think there may be a difference between Industrial and Ballistic designations, but I'm not sure what.

Wow thanks Dann Mastermind for you soon I think !!! I reckon the metal icon ones are rarer than splatters !!!! As for the crystal naughty !!!! Can't they stick to new gear ha !!!!

That's funny because I have two, one as a Christmas gift, and another from the vault. Both had metal icons and I never got another so I didn't think anything of it. There were some who were saying the metal icons were a sign of a fake.

I rest my case you have 2 ha !!! so even less in circulation !!!
