Did any of your originals feature a black payload tube or was it white like the main airframe?
I also didn't realize the actual kit number "1340" appeared on a decal sheet with the EnerJet logos.
It's already climbed out of my price range for bidding but if I had bought it I would open it, inhale the EnerJet air from the bag ..... build it and then fly it on composite F and G motors at our HPR field. I would also document all the contents for Scott to post online for all to enjoy.

There were no 1340 decals I recall, just generic Enerjet decals. There were no black tubes I recall, and I do not recall any till Estes E2X.
I think it is a frankenkit, not an original, but sticking an original 1340 instruction in a bag of parts worked great on ebay!
