What does this mean 'COTEP CBOB0717', what's the CBOB part mean?

And how does one find out their Cotep #?
From my profile page the browser bar has the html info and 'member #*<*>% 933' or something like that. Am I #933?

Well if it ain't 933 and I can pick I'd like 007 or 69 as those are my two favorite numbers.

Blanca, once upon a time in a galaxy far far away COTEP was a sub-sub invitation forum. It was a Dan Wesson sub forum on the 1911 forum. There are a lot of Dan Wesson fan boys around here. Just a heads up we don't use the K word around here, they are referred to as Mimbers.

Ok understood. Now I understand Mimber Lover.

But I do have two Colt Commanders and a bunch of Hks.

How long will it be before I stop loving Mimbers?

Yes, but they were once much less expensive than that. The current VBOB is like an upgraded CBOB. Here is a VBOB on Gun Broker with a starting price $460 less than that CBOB:

I don't want to pay a hefty premium for what is basically a collector's item.
