GLENN, pertaining to vintage boxes as to brand new boxes, I recently purchased a ten year old POINTE NOIR, made by the late, great DICK RICHARD. Compared to a 2005 model ACADIAN, I have to pick the Pointe Noir, honestly. I am sure when the ACADIAN is broken in, it will be vintage too. I Love the Pointe Noir. Your Falcon looks sharp. I am looking it over, thanks.
Your Pointe Noir will become vintage when it is old enough wheather it is broke in or not. Just hang on to it and you will one day own a vintage Pointe Noir.
