Real Gayle Bradley 1?

[SuperEiti]

Hey guys, bought this one yesterday on the secondary, but without checking first. Can anyone tell me if it's authentic?? Thank you.

Was there a batch that came out without the Taichung lettering?

I was going to ask the same. I have two of them and both say "TAICHUNG" above TAIWAN.
Also the jimping on lock bar looks different-more rounded on the pictured example..
Possibly this is an early one? If so it would have the non-skeletonized liners.

I'd have to ask Chris if he still has the GB1 I gave him. It was early enough to have the solid liners and no Bradley logo, so if there were any without the Taichung marking, it would be that one.

I can’t see your pics but the early ones only had Taiwan

Users on Reddit assured me that it is an original. Solid liners are installed, apparently from the second batch.
Thanks for the answers!

This is an early run. They didn't say Taichung at first. Are the liners skeletonized? Early ones also had solid liners. IIRC the first run didn't have the GB Weatherford logo either.

I have both one with skeletonized liners and with solid liners, Here's a few pics.







Older one on the left, newer one on the right. Sorry but I'm currently sanding the newer one to get a handbrush satin on the primary grind before acidwashing it again.
