Unless photos are mandatory I guess I should join this club. I have 5, a mix of old and new handles, SS and BO finish.

I can join now! Pics after I've cleaned,oiled and tightened the darn thing.
Got an interesting MPT coming. From the pics it appears to be new handles but still has hex bolts on the plier pivots. As Gerber was making changes and using with old parts it led to some intersting combo's.
My entry to the club. I believe this is an older one. Shoulders, old awl, hex bolts on all pivot points. It's a neat tool for sure, and actually the very first tool I acquired specifically to have one in the collection rather than for use in the rotation. It's been carried though, in keeping with my "no shelf queen" policy.

As Gerber was making changes and using with old parts it led to some intersting combo's. It does sound like another "transitional" version. It will be interesting to find out which mix of early and late components it has when you get it. I think Leatherman did much the same with their PST, using up handles and components as they moved to newer versions.
So far I'm not sure what to think about this tool it doesn't want to seem to close on the awl, knife side.

This is such a classic looking tool. So beautiful - like a pocket power plier, PST, or Mr. Pinchy. Symmetrical

Early MPT
You know you need one Pat.
