COBRA 29XLR Gold Plated Special Edition - New Old Stock

Description

You are looking at a Cobra 29 XLR Special Edition Gold Plated CB Radio.  This Cobra Gold has never been out of its box (until photos), and is still sealed in the factory wrapping.
Here's what I've found about this radio from CB Radio Magazine:
"These particular radios were made on a limited basis as a special edition and were given as gifts to shops or sales people who had met/exceeded certain sales quotas. The special editions were given their own “plate” with serial numbers as shown above and have the signature of the President of Cobra – Carl Korn – engraved on the commemorative plate as well. For those of you who don’t know, Carl Korn was the founder of Cobra Electronics (formerly Dynascan) and he started the company in 1961 and served as President and CEO until 1985.
There has been some speculation on whether these radios are actually “gold plated”. I don’t know the full details on what percentage of gold was actually used in the plating, but I have read on one of the CB radio forums that it was confirmed with Cobra that these were truly gold plated radios.
As you can see in the photos, the radio, case, bracket, microphone label, and even the microphone connector as far as I can see, were all given the gold plating."
I do not have the gold signed "plate" referenced in this article (not sure it came with all of them - this is the second one that I've had, and neither included this "plate"), but everything else is included, including gold plating on the Mic connector.   Box is perfect, and every piece of packing, wrapped wiring and sealed paperwork is in the box.
