16570 with a 16550 Rail Dial

[enginerd]

I came across a 16570 for sale, but with an earlier 16550 black rail dial. Anything wrong with this swap? I do like the look. Affect to value?

Some early 16570s ended up with rail dials. What you see is normal assuming it's an early serial. Chances are unlikely that it's a swap.

Value doesn't seem to be affected much. I know of one for sale right now under $6k.
