I will try and get that info for you this weekend. Here's a decent picture of a real 480 on Ebay right now. Notice the shine on the housing? Also look at the machine marks on the housing and the gang stamp marking in front of the first number "1":

That one looks fake to me personally: 1 feedback, and just the bottom half is machined (fairly fresh). I don't trust any distributor that looks that nice after its been sitting since the "70's" on a shelf thats my .02

I will post some pics of my "shelf" 480 and 2019 (no Marlin, you can't have it

). They have the exact same housing finish.

Hylton, that ebay 480 looks like it may have been a 481 at one time. Tough to say for sure with the bad pic. *Edit: the vertical line in the middle of the 0 isnt where the one would be in the 481

Here's a 480:
