Top one looks like a SMM, bottom looks like a strait suzy or strait timber.

[nwpahntr]

Thanks Poo ... Top one is either a SMM or a DMM but came strait from the factory with a TR band.

Bottom is a ST for sure.

Well your timber rattler will have a rattle snake laser engraved on the acrlic barrell, I dont see it so my guess is its a SMM.....The bottom one is throwin me off, the barell looks like a Suzy barell but the insert looks to long to be a ST or Suzy??? What do the bands read??

Hopefully they sound good...I don't think the ducks or geese care...but it does raise some questions.....maybe they had plastic surgery and went into witness protection?..sorry couldn't help myself...

[nwpahntr]

Dont know ... they are being shipped out in the morning. The top call was sold New in pouch from Rogers as a DMM ... But has a TR band on it. (Doesnt look much like a TR from the pic IMO)... The bottom call is a Strait Timber and correctly labled.

PM sent, the top ones not a TR "to long of a barrel" The band is too tall to be a DMM.

SMM for sure, if the barrel lenghts are the same as I sent you.

[nwpahntr]

insert is four inches... the metal band at the base is what is stamped timber rattler. ... trust me its a dmm.. you got a hell of a good call thats worth alot more to someone who cares

^^^^ thats what was sent to me by the old owner. I will be recieving the call in a couple days ... Im actually kind of pumped to figure this out. ...

Is that SMM mother of pearl? If so... Your a jerk

[nwpahntr]

I was thinking either mother of pearl or harley silver ... and it is mismarked :D:D:D:D

[greenhead rocker]

top call looks like a SMM to me. Barrel looks too long and strait to be a DMM. Plus the band is too wide to be a DMM.

[nwpahntr]

Heres the SMM that was labeled "Strait Meat" "Timber Rattler" from the shop. Mother of pearl color. Let me know what ya think

kind of a cool looking call.

Id like to hear about the history of it.

Maybe someone at the shop can explain what is going on with it.

[SoggyBottomBoyz]

That is a collectors item...big bucks!!!

[nwpahntr]

Not too much history really, the call was bought new at Roger's a couple weeks ago. And has been sitting on a shelf ever since. Id like to find out if anyone from the shop could give me some info though ... It would be cool to find out how it happened.
