Thanks a lot to all of you for détails.
Indeed i ask for better quality pictures.

For me who is not familiar with this model, I was surprised by the “bad” quality of the script.
But then looking at your pictures and comment, it seems well to be original.
I must say that I deeply prefer later version 😀

Just to be clear again: The script on a 2852 is by no means of low quality or even hand-made. Here’s a close-up again:

This one is the same than à 168.005.
But on the 2853 it is not the same

As stated above, we can’t say without good pics. You’re guessing that the quality of the writing is bad when in fact it might very well just be the quality of the picture itself.

I'm with you guys, I find the pictures too poor to say much, but if I had to say something my gut feeling is that it is original.

What do you prefer about the later version? I am not Constellation expert, but I have seen plenty of good photos of 1950s Constellations (including my own) where the printing is excellent.

Thank you for your confidence.
I think it looks fine.
(@Dan S is right about the picture quality)

However, it’s @cristos71 and @MtV that you want for 50s Constellations.

Don't be modest. All three of these fellas helped me in buying this last year:

The serif text, seems cleaner to me.
But it is just about taste !
