Yeah that's a "woody". I don't have any problem with the obv, but I suspect someone may have tried to mess with the rev.
having said bad things about Littleton earlier, let me now say something good about them. Littleton is an old company and their business model...
The dies would be locked in place with a set screw. The early die bodies were cylindrical so they might grind a small flat on the side of the die...
