Help identifying this angel

HeatedNubbycake · 02-02-2013, 09:00 PM

Hey guys. my buddy sent me a few pictures hoping to identify and price out an old angel that hes got. i dont really know anything about angels, and especially not this one. He says that it is an eclipse angel and thats also what the jewels say.

Anyone know what this is/year/price etc? i dont really know where to begin with it.

Thanks guys!

Eclipse led circa 98 or 99

Missing stock feedneck and minireg and barrel is likely under 100, even if it's working,

Correct, and I concur with the valuation.

It's the "Ice" anodizing pattern which is more rare than the other patterns, but the missing parts hurts the value for sure. Best thing to do would be to put a black feedneck and minireg on it to match the base anodizing.

Ok so I am the one with the this marker, I am trying to sell it for a friend and was lost. He bought this at world cup waaaaaaay back. I do have the stock barrel and he says he has the mini reg and asa also. this has sat since probably 2003 and needs love, he just needs money and is trying to see what he can get

Crazy Train · 02-03-2013, 01:00 AM

Ohhh...I happen to have a matching minireg. Just sayin'...

firefighter26 · 02-03-2013, 01:30 AM

Here it is with the barrel, hope to find the mini reg and asa soon. if I find them what can I get for it do you guys think,

Also have this he gave me. I am pretty sure it is an Angel LCD has a dye boomstick. there is a Toxic decal on the top not sure if that means anything but it does match the color.. also wondering what this is worth...

Some of these other guys are a lot better on appraisals, but I'd guess $150 max on the Eclipse.

The other gun is an IR3. Looks to be stock aside from the boomstick, and has been re-anodized (that wasn't a stock color).

I like the color on the Toxic for whatever reason.

Methodcaptain · 02-03-2013, 09:23 AM

can you get better pictures of the trigger guard area on the eclipse?

Looks like it was single trigger from the factory, and someone cut it to add the double trigger. At least thats what it looks like to me.

dr.strangelove · 02-03-2013, 09:53 AM

Eclipse did sell models with the trigger guard removed and an included Eclipse double trigger, and the fact that the trigger is match anodized to the gun makes me think that might well be the case here. It's hard to tell though, because the trigger guard does look cut.

Trevor · 02-03-2013, 10:09 AM

Vegard can probably concur on this, but I believe that all of the factory double trigger setups from eclipse were "cut" trigger guards even though they may have come with an anodized trigger. This was before the invention of the SE's double trigger. I'm very inclined to say that the factory double trigger setups did come with matching WDP trigger guards - the two-swoop ones. http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/v...ril2009004.jpg

FireFighter, you would still be missing the original feedneck and the detent. I would ballpark it 180-200. Does it work? Does it have a charger?

Methodcaptain · 02-03-2013, 10:30 AM

I know that eclipse used to sell the splashed triggers seperately, as I bought a few of them. I'm thinking this was a rare single that was cut.

They did offer the double trigger guards that matched as well as Trevor posted.

They were. No factory double trigger frame was ever released for the LED. I think the Eclipse ones were cut pre-anodizing though, not post, so if there's raw metal there it would suggest it might have been a single that was cut after the fact. Note the pic in this ad:

Am I the only one that cringes when I see a cut LED single trigger frame?

firefighter26 · 02-03-2013, 03:37 PM

it is not cut, if it is it was done pre anno by the manufacturer

Vegard · 02-03-2013, 04:40 PM

All my eclipses were cut prior to anno.
That splash is one of the harder ones to find.

firefighter26 · 02-04-2013, 12:48 AM

Ok I got all the original parts even the detent and the charger so here are a couple pics..

Vegard · 02-04-2013, 01:17 AM

I've sold mine for $360 over the past year, with the stock parts someone will shell out for it.

firefighter26 · 02-04-2013, 01:31 AM

problem is it was sent out and repaired in 04 which i have the paperwork, but was never touched after it came back so not sure if battery is good or not

Intern1 · 02-04-2013, 08:38 AM

Charge it up and find out.
