I've heard from a variety of sources that supposedly Armour/Franklin Mint has been bought out by yet another company. True? If so, anyone know who it is? - JY 10/21/07 - 6PM - JUST FOUND OUT - Sometime next year (2008), Armour is going to release another "Limited Edition" CA-27 (F-86 type) Sabre for the Australian market!! No further details, yet - will keep you all appraised... - This will be Sabre #3 for Australia. Found out that the 2001/2002 production of the CA-27 "Black Panther" Sabre was NOT a limited edition (no production figures, though - that remains an "unknown")!! Was intended for world-wide distribution, although Australia was certainly in mind! FM took over Armour Dec. 29th, 2001 - much earlier than I had thought or had been informed. Australian distributor set the record straight for me! - JY
