Original Ammeter

[d.j. moordigian]

I'm looking at an ammeter I just got off eBay, and it has the dimple in the back like yours. Was this the only way to tell it's an E28, or was this simply a manufacturer's dimple? Does such a dimple indicate that it is in fact an original?

OK,....I looked at your ammeter then I looked at the ones I have. There are
2 fonts and 2 needles styles. Your letters and numbers don't look crisp, but
that could be the photo(?). The dimple in the back I don't know,...who's
going to see it? The other thing that bothers me, I can see the Brass Buss
bar through the lens..it should be "flat black". It could be a later production.

I didn't have time to look up the needles. If you paint the inside and use
a Nickle plated bezel, it should be OK. One of the photos shows the numbers and letters as Silver, is this correct?

Tom,

Yes, I know....in the ebay photos, it's difficult too tell, one looks Silver...the
other looks kinda White. Just checking
