German DT Series Destroyer

Well, my search for this elusive animal is finally over.

I found a couple of folks who knew exactly what this beast is.

What I have been calling the German/European "DT Series" Destroyer is, in actuality, the first incarnation of the DT-420.

It was, indeed, a German only release from 1992/3 and was available with either a Cherry Sunburst finish or a Black finish.

I said "first incarnation" because the model designation "DT-420" was reused 10 years later in 2002/3 on a completely different Destroyer.

The second incarnation of the DT-420 was available in the US market and came in either a Candy Apple red or a Black Pearl finish.

Visually, the two incarnations of the DT-420 are completely different in appearance so there is no chance of mistaking one for the other.
