Anyone know how rare these are?

I have been looking for one and put the word out. But none have come avaliable.

Also will there ever be a Spyderco Police model made with H1 steel? That would be the ultimate for me.
 
There were two versions - bare aluminum, with flush pins and grey tufram coated aluminum with domed pins. Both are fairly uncommon, but the bare aluminum one is probably the less common of the two.

What Paul said. ;) I managed to scare up a couple of each haunting eBay for a couple of years. You just have to keep your eyes open.

yab you have addiction,how do you explain all those to your other...
 
What I'm finding most interesting in your photo Jack, is that there have to have been at least two batches of each. The two uncoated aluminum have different markings and one of the Tufram ones has a lanyard hole while the other does not.

Yup. It seems like every time I buy a Police Model I get farther from having all the variations. Different steel marks, some sterile, some marked, some with lanyard holes, some without, plain edge, serrated edge, combo edge...I can't even figure out how many variations there really are. there aren't any duplicates in that picture, and that isn't a drop in the bucket for the total. The Tufram model without lanyard hole is marked G-2, the one with lanyard hole is marked GIN-1, so they made them for at least two years, or as you say, at least two batches.

The Punisher: I don't. I'm single, as is my girlfriend of 15 years. She spends her money on what she wants, I spend mine on what I want, we don't have to argue over money. Ever. :D
 
add another batch to that as I have a tuffram with no police marking on the blade

Now that you mention it, mine (with no lanyard hole and marked G-2) doesn't have the POLICE marking either. :o

Like I said, the more of them I get, the more variations there seem to be. I just saw one on eBay yesterday that had G-2 stamp, POLICE on the balde and a lanyard hole, which makes 4 batches at least.
