[QUOTE="glaciermi, post: 365306, member: 4097"]It's rather hard to say from the pictures. I have a 39-S Reverse of 1940 which is 6-6-5-5. (with a nice bridge ruining it) I don't think it is all that difficult or expensive to find a nice reverse of 40 with very decent steps. On the other hand my 39-S Reverse of 1938 is 5-4-3-4 (with the first 4 being a nice ugly cut), and I have spent a few years looking for this least bad among alot of bad. Rest assured someone selling one of these and claiming full steps is a liar :) The big difference is steps made of playdough versus steps made of wet cement. But I love them anyway. BTW Full Steps will make you crazy.. bail out before it's too late :).. and never ever trust the 3rd party graders for step counting, they have very wacky self made up rules. The one exception I make is SEGS as by my experience they tell it like it is.[/QUOTE]
