Fluted Ti Military on ebay

I am considering an ebay purchase and the cheapest seller from Ukraine is offering one that looks like this:

Is this milling normal or seconds quality?

Really could not remember the specific details of the Fluted Military that was a loaner in my possession for a special project a few years ago (really could not get into Millies as a leftie), but I think those indents are on the lock side, as a relief for the lock bar's bend... Ti Fluted Millie owners might be able to chime in.

That doesnt look right to me.

There was also a discounted fluted titanium military for sell on bhq not too long ago that had messed up milling. Might be the same one.

It doesn't look right to me as well. I sold mine a while back though. The only two counterfeits that I ever bought were both off of Ebay. To be clear, I am not saying that this isn't legit but it sure looks wrong.

I looked at mine and it was considerably better than that one. If it wasn’t a second, it should have been.
