Finally, an early Astro originally sent out without scales surfaces without the thong hole,that is like mine. Thanks Gary for bringing that one. We don't know why they left the shop without lanyard holes. Perhaps it's simply because the customer ordered it that way, as it was meant for display only. Or perhaps these Scaleless Astros without thong holes were sent out to dealers for display. Who knows for sure.
Stay tuned for some more great early Astros. Some you've seen before, but one in a combination I've not seen before.
Regards, Sam
