I took some pictures of the crossbows I have.
One is from the accessory pack, two are from 1982 scarletts, and one is from a 1997 scarlett. My pictures don't really do it justice but if you were to look at them in person the 2 for the scarletts are different shades of black or gray whatever you want to call it. Its not a color close enough to the accessory pack version and its not dark black like the 1997 version. Anyone else notice this? Wish my camera was better.

Yeah, it is hard to tell without seeing in person. My guess is discoloration/sunfading/age. My 82 accessories are not exactly all the same color. There seems to be a slight variance. Helmets are always various shades.

The two in the middle are the 82 scarlett crossbows and I am sure you can tell which the other two are.

The 82 parts were not as shiny as the remakes.

I'm still certain they just had slight coloring issues.

I know how to tell the difference between them.
The accessory pack is a light gray. which is the one to the left in my pics. The 82 scarlett is a black/gray with its tip being pointy shaped. The 97 and 2003 version is dark black and rounded shaped for the tip. The thing I have which my camera can't catch is that the 2 in the middle which are 82 scarletts one is a lighter color than the other. Its visiable by eye but my camera didn't pic it up. Now that being said it isn't as light as the accessory pack version. Sorry for repeating or confusing anyone just trying to be clear.

Could it be a slight change they made between the straight arm and swivel arm reissues ?

Its just interesting to me. I think I am just going to keep both with my scarlett that I am keeping. I am going to trade the other scarlett. In fact I am going to keep all 4 crossbows with my 82 scarlett to show people as a reference point when people see my collection in person. May bring it to shows and get togethers to ask what people think.
