Has anyone had any trouble with the Littmann Black Editions paint chipping?

I havn't had any problems...yet. That worries me though. Hopefully it won't happen to mine. I'm sorry that it is happening to your stethoscope.

I don't have one, was just looking into them. I love the way they look, but worry about chipping (saw one on ebay that was chipped all over)

Actually, this is not paint chipping. When working EMS (I do both ER and EMS) I saw some problems with the black stethoscope - I dropped it onto the street and the (relatively) soft aluminum head gave in - that's where the paint "chips" come from. In the hospital setting, even if you drop it on the linoleum floor, you wouldn't have this phenomenon. So - do what I did - buy one!!! You'll LOVE it!!!
