Ninetailedsage New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 07/12/2023 11:26 am Appreciate the response mac I really cannot tell the difference lol these eyes are aging for sure. What is making you lean toward .4 over .1 if you don't mind me asking Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 07/12/2023 1:13 pm The knob tail like in 004.1 vs the trumpet style 004.3. Also, position where the MM, 004.1 is on the right, the leaf is more in the left. 004.3 is more like in the middle. Stage A. Just the example you have more circulation wear.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6513 Posts	Posted 07/12/2023 5:05 pm I agree that it looks more like 004.3. Have you looked through the markers or are those worn away on the dime? Although the important thing is that it's a trumpet tail. They are all FS-511. Report this Post to the Staff
Ninetailedsage New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 07/13/2023 08:48 am Yeah I tried looking for the markers but seem to be worn away could not find a die gouge but there are also no die scratches that I could spot. So idk haha but as long as it's a trumpet tail I think I'll keep this in my collection. And I will file it as a VF as per Panzaldi, appreciate it!! Report this Post to the Staff
