Very nice!

Well you can't just show us the picture, tell us that it's the first one, then just sit back.
Tell us more, I need more, more more.

How did you come to know of it?
How are you sure that it's actually the very first frame to be made?
Where was it located? [general area is OK]
What's its life story as you know it?
Is it a pre-production [prototype] frame?
Was there ever a prototype anyway?
Is it a production frame that was sold to the public, or retained for use by the maker?
Where has it been most of its life, in use, in storage, in a museum?
Is that the original paint in your pictures? [If so then it's had VERY little use]
Do you have the rest of it?
Do you know what the original components were ....... exactly?
What is the serial number, or other markings?
What month in 1977 was it made?
Where was it made? [Location + Factory, back shed, other?]

I hate it when someone dangles something like this in front of me. It's teasing at its worse.

Interesting to note in the picture that
The two furthest from the camera have Motomag wheels which doesn't automatically make them Mongoose bikes. [but probably are]
The two middle riders are about to push off with their left feet on the pedal suggesting they are possibly left handed.
No Quicksilver sticker on the downtube? [Did they have one on the other production frames in 1977.
Do you know who the rider of the Quicksilver is?
