Authentication Notes

Case

LowProbable

Coating wear is expected; a flawless shroud suggests replacement

Titanium nitride is hard but not indestructible, and a working example will show wear at the shroud edges. A 7549 with a uniformly perfect gold shroud has most likely had it replaced or re-coated. Neither is a counterfeit finding on its own; both are originality findings that should be recorded rather than admired.
