I know it's a sovereign of some sort, not really an expert on them but it's a UK cocker pretty much. Not sure what version (2 maybe :/)

[FeWolf]

I would need larger pics, from the looks it is a Sov I, if you remove the frame the serial number will be hand scribe, if it is stamp it is not rare, color is rare, for some reason arrow runs mostly, Blue, Black and Red, while the inferno and family have many different colors.

[Mike Taitt]

Yeah, I took it on my iPhone late last Friday. We found it in the warehouse where we keep all out Sterling pump stock. I've brought my Canon EOS DSLR in today so I'll get some more pics up. It's a left-hand feed Sovereign 1, in green. Needs to go to a loving home ;-)

Went to take some more photos, but came across this beauty instead...
Eclipse Sovereign in green splash.

Two more pictures on the Sovereign Picture thread.

That is rare for 2 reason the color and if you look at the back, it has the custom milling gills, you are missing the match LPR

Love those Eclipse splashes! Great pic of the Sovereign 1 too. I haven't seen one of those in ages.

I always thought this style Sovereign was actually milled by BBT?

Well, after several days, we restored the green Eclipse Sovereign. Steve did a great job keeping as many of the original parts as possible. We've added a new WGP vertical regulator and bolt pin. The vertical adapter had to be replaced as it was leaking and we have no idea where the matching splash LPR has gone to. They were often swapped out as an upgrade so we went with the silver one that was on this marker and it works fine. We had to tidy up some work on the valve body and fix a leak on an elbow, but she's good to go. We shot some HD footage this morning alongside the Prestige and will put some up, somewhere, once the graphics guy has fiinished with the files.

I'm just waiting on a parts list from Steve at Arrow so I know exactly what we've put in it. I do have a customer interested in purchasing it, and in all fairness, we restored it for him. Fear not, however, we still have the purple splash Eclipse in need of restoration and a loving home. :-)

[DevilMan]

Ok.

Mike, sell it to this guy. He is a standup person, and I give you my blessings to sell the Sov to him.

Mine :D


Thanks to Mike and the guys at Sterling for all the work in restoring her. Fedex delivered her this morning and it has one of the smoothest triggers Ive ever felt. I'll snap some pictures and post them soon. Maybe I'll even throw up a detailed video onto Youtube.

It was a real pleasure working on her. I'll never forget the roar from the workshop as Steve gassed her up and let rip for the first time. She will be missed, but we're glad she's gone to a member of the www.customcockers.com family.*wipes a sentimental tear from his eye*
