I think it's just the photo, stamping looks crisp and factory correct to me.

Pushers seem a bit sticky outy compared to mine probably because Craig found a slightly larger replacement crown for mine and I have never seen one with a chapter ring (I hope that's the right name) like that, but I like it, gives it a different look. Oh and the second hand should be gold. The lugs are also over polished and have now been rounded

right you are - chapter ring is quite surprising, might be a very good refinish.

Bridge is different shape too Fred, the one for sale has a kink near the screw not that it makes much difference I suppose
