It‘s been >50 years, people forget things. She also might have just not known as the redial was done during a service. As stated above, this wasn’t uncommon back then and the quality usually wasn’t up to factory standard. This one is so clearly a redial that an experienced collector like
@padders can spot it, despite the fuzzy pictures.
More importantly though: It’s still a lovely heirloom. It still has all the emotional value. And apparently, it’s still running strong. So what’s not to love? Wear it in commemoration of your young granddad, a gentleman with great taste, it seems.
