Somebody is lathe crazy but atleast they took the time to crudely "dot" the ends of the straightlines on the number 4.

Run for the hills......and stay away from it.

Agreed. Cut down a bit too much with a lathe. 3.819 to 3.813 is the nominal diameter I have found to be what distributors are normally. Any smaller than that in either direction, either across the stamped numbers or 90º out, I'd call it a fake. Most are not smaller in the area where the numbers are stamped. Be especially leery of anything coming out of Tennessee, but also Angola Indiana, although fakes are coming out of other places too.
