I don't have photos yet, but mine being the $109 example does't look quite as nice. A lot of surface rust and some pitting one both sides of the blade. One side is worse than the other.
1.5mm of the tip was bent as though someone dropped it on concrete. I straightened it, and then used a fine checkering file to smooth it out. The edges were pitted too, but not badly. The checkering file took care of both edges too.
Lots of pitting on the mounting ring, topside. I can only imagine what the rifle must have looked like.
It cleaned up fair after a wire brush and some Red & Tacky gun oil. I'm going to go over it again. The mechanism works well and mounts up tight and releases fine.
No maker's mark, proofs, or date code on my example. I'd have paid $80-$90 for something in this condition, but I know they're drying up, so $109 wasn't outrageous.
I'll get a few photos up on Friday.
