I'm not seeing DDO here. But I see @Rick Stachowski had a look. And I'm most often in agreement with @expat too. Why do we think this is a DDO?
Sorry...just noticed the OP is Rick. I don't see the usual thickness of the devices. I have Stages B, C, and D myself. I didn't even know that an E came along, but I haven't CRHed in a long, long while. Let me know what I'm missing, gents.
I’m not seeing it either. No die chip in the upper lip means it’s probably not a stage E. Rick, help us out.
Looking at it more closely, the PUP on the lip, the upper left corner of the left arm and the gouge above the P of purchase are obscured by light flare, so could be there, might not be. The other lettering etc and the star looks good. Perhaps you could re-image those areas @Rick Stachowski to satisfy curiosity.
I'll take a couple new images the easiest way to tell is the split serif on the " E " of WE . On stage D that's the only split left on the devices . Stage E has no split serif anywhere .
The reason you do not see the die chip, there's lots of years of wear has left craters in that area .
Can you spot stuff like instantly. I know you know a lot but can you spot this right away. I’m impressed none the less
