"Made in the USA" on backside under "r" in tiny tiny letters.
Lots of little bumps between letters on both sides.

You are aware that there are two distinctly different emblems as stock, right? One type is stamped and plated brass, the other is SS. I'll look for examples!

Is that by year, or production supplier?
