Wow! I do think people are paying that for them these days. I ended up trading a guy in germany a half of a mr t and about $600 USD for mine about 4 years ago. Def won't ever be getting rid of it, looks great on the wall in my shop.

I remember a friend having one on shelf, I wondered if it was any good.

I never know what it is going to be valuable.

I love that wall and the whole picture. Just clean that rust off the Ax Head.

Ya ya I am getting to it lol, this is the wall in my 'shop'. I think it probably wasn't the handmade one, but I am not an expert. It was a full fork but missing the upper crown and steerer (i think). Are you saying there were different versions of the Mr. T?

i seem to have seen reading in places that the very earliest mr t forks were hand made.

Same fork, after I painted it and put on new stickers.

Originally it was something like $2400. The prior year was the first as far as I know and had a terrible "wrap-around" arch, but this more closely mirrored the Jr/Mr. T forks, except everything more beefy. As cool as all the machining was, it was just a simple HSCV type cartridge, which was a crude-ass riveted piston with two shims, a check valve and then the rebound was a pumping rod with check valve. It was horrid for control and had to be run almost full open, like most stuff from then.
