Date window position slightly wrong, consistent with known replica?

Possibly but I'm not confident to call it out.

fake, reported.
"tell" are the "60" red arrow markers on the sliderule, too short. frighteningly good.

here's the gen:

Crikey Fred. Frighteningly good indeed if so.

Even now you've pointed out the red-arrow thing I honestly can't see the difference. In both pics the 60 red arrow seems to extend beyond the length of the adjacent markers and to the same length as the bold 55/65 etc markers. Though the eBay pics are themselves suspiciously poor.

not really, this one is quite a bit shorter, like on several other "quality" fakes we saw

I'd never have seen it. Which is why I don't comment on these matters!

Though looking at it now, is another difference not that the 10 and 35 markers have a red arrow on the genuine but a black arrow on the fake?

yep

Item gone. Good work Fred.

Beside slide rule, date window size and position are giveaways for me.
