Minute hand crack could be a future issue

Looks like a good chunk missing from the 11 too.

Thank you Tools and OEB. Recognizing the crack and missing chunk at 1, Any sense or concern about any reluming?

Hard to say, let's move this up to the Vintage section.

What year is it?

You can't complain about the quality of the photos, that's for sure.

Light it up with UV and that might answer some of your concerns. Based on the photos, it could quite possibly be original.

You guys don’t find the 3-6-9 really sloppy? I guess I’ve never owned one but the lume on my 5513&1675s seem better under magnification.

Applying the lume…and we’re talking by hand… was a lot easier on 5513s and 1675s because they’re just round markers. These are thin lined numerals. Look at a lot from this era, like on HQ MILTON, and you’ll see a lot of less than perfect lume

I think they’re good.

Yes, a little sloppy, but done by hand in the 1960s/'70s. Not uncommon. The fact that some of the lume is missing would also indicate (but not prove) that the tritium is original.

As Springer suggests, a blacklight would be a good idea.

Thanks very much, all. Appreciate the insights.
