| I don't really know a lot about these darts other than they are the original ones and pretty old. Tony's wikki page states that he started playing in 2002 (but i think that means 'professionally started playing') as I would be surprised if these darts were under 10 years old. They have that great aged feel to them (that I can't seem to get with new tungsten....). [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| He comes from my area originally, but I dont know him personally, they look like the sort of dart made by B + W but cant say for sure. |

| Ah right, I wonder when B&W first made them ?, they've got to be over 10 years old |

| Not sure, its hard to get any info on the B+W darts, but I was only guessing that they may be B+W. Might be worth asking Tony himself, I'm sure there must be a way of contacting him, I think he has a website. |

| They look very nice, look quite grippy. |

Yeah they really are. I have no doubt that old Tungsten darts were made of different materials which made them tarnish better. (your get the 80 or 90% tungsten but they mix it with other materials) I've been using a set of Tony O'shea Data darts for about 2 years now (Heavy usage) and they are still as sparkling as when I purchased them. |

| I often notice with old Unicorn sets they seem to be different somehow to modern ones but its hard to say exactly what. It could be just the natural aging process of the tungsten, I dont really know. I know copper tungsten darts do age differently because they oxidise more. |
