Depends on what you read

There are TWO remaining, the pictures from the test, shows a different grip angle than these two

IMHO, I have always felt there would be 4 or 5 made. 1 as a tool room model (maybe two) that would stay behind, 1 meant for destruction / testing and at least another for testing in firing and a backup in country. if I was making them

Besides the damage that 'flash' can have on some textiles, usually its because the museum sells books on the collections

That, and it's really annoying when 20 different people are taking flash photos all around you....

Nice pictures even without the flash!
