The part number looks pretty good...

Doesn't it look like it's been through a blast cabinet? (top edge especially)
-
Oh there is no doubt it has been through a blast cabinet... that doesn't neccesarily mean it's a restamp though.

The 8 and the 0 trail up where as the 1111 trail down... is 9C4 even a good date?

OK. I'm not sure what you are trying to say about the 0, 8 and 1's because I don't see it. Also, since it should be stamped in one gang I should think that the numbers would all trail the same...so wouldn't your observation indicate a possible restamp?
I don't see a problem with the date as a date...March 4th 1969...during the '69 productiuon run.

Yes that is what I am saying...
I am not asking if it is a date during the production, I am asking if the date of 9C4 is a legitimate 480 date.

Like flowjoe, I'm not seeing the trailing, could be these old eyes, or this old PC, but i'd be interedted to know what I am missing.

is this a restampers test?ihate these tests.
-
restamp. Been turned down. Look below where the cap would end. It's been machined. Wrong fonts as well.

You have a good eye. :)

Take a set of vernier calipers and check the diameter of the body. That will tell you if it has been turned down. Pretty simple check.

Good morning!! I have a 1111481 distrib. somewhere in my stuff... It isn't a #480 but closest thing to it... Dated 9 D30... FlowJoe, if you want me to dig it out and take pic or pics of the stampings, let me know... Ted
