Jem,

It is a 'limited edition', not a 'special edition'.  You are correct that it
has no special engraving.  Only 500 cameras are to be built, to the best of
my knowledge.

The finish is much closer to the matt finish of the R3 Safari, rather than
the glossy finish of my olive M3.  It is therefore more 'tropical' than
'military'.  I hope this will ease the minds of a few.

Bests,

Joseph
