<p>[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 377589, member: 360"]1779 weighs 26g exactly (or a fraction higher). The 1790 one is 26.52/3 grams. Given that the '79 one is pretty freakin' worn out, I'm not that surprised by the lower weight. </p><p><br /></p><p>The '79 one also has two marks or something, next to the 'S' and below the 'III' in 'CARLOUS III'. Are these chop-marks or just imperfections? I can't decide. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]130146[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]130147[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
