The PM7 you've seen, though like a lovely lady it's always fun to look at.
The PM6 is a curiosity, I suspect it was the original oil slick test body for Dye. I sourced it completely stripped down & clearly never been reassembled after coating. Unfortunately shows rash like it was in a parts bin, but pretty presentable still. I sourced a donor PM6 for internals.
Really had to coax this marker back together against some threads that had tight tolerances, but it's now a functional shooter. Only oil slick frame, hyper 2, and ASA in existence - I assume they left those out of 2007 production for cost reasons.

Chatted up Mr. Wing over at dye about the possible origin -

I’d have to say it was a sample to prove out the process. there is a good chance that gun “walked” out of the office backdoor. a rare find indeed. Back in the day we did not track samples well at all, so I can’t confirm this is a pre-production sample, but it is a very safe bet.
