Collectors know that these are 3 particularly rare objects. Rare because their production was necessarily limited, rare because some are old, rare finally because they never leave the collections where they are carefully preserved.
This is a Dassault family photo which illustrates 3 generations of machines. In the middle, you can recognize the S.A.M.M. Ref. 103 A. This one fitted a Mystère IV and/or a Super Mystère B2 and bears the following references: No. 3112 10390, date 11.61, repaired in 66 and overhauled in 69.
The second is a S.A.M.M. is necessarily a type 203, since it is a grip of Mirage III. Unfortunately this one hasn’t its plate which was probably removed when the grip was dismantled. But its origin is indisputable and and fans will know it.
The third and final is a grip is from a Mirage F-1C. This is a S.A.M.M. Ref. 208-502, No. 189, date 7.75, revised 11.88.
You will rarely come across such a choice of grips from Dassault aircrafts, except of course on a collector's shelves, but in that case they certainly won't be for sale like these are!
