A "problem" 1940's Sheaffer Crest on ebay?

But I was perusing this ebay ad for a 1940's (post-War) Sheaffer Crest (gold-filled cap on plastic barrel) and something caught my eye... something not quite right with the set. Of course... i could be wrong
Do look in and share thoughts. I'll follow up later with my observation, if no one else catches it.
( Oh well, looks like the glitch was pointed out and has been posted to the advert. I still find it a good illustration of an issue- or a class of issue- to consider when examining old pens)

I have purchased from this seller before, again while his listing wasn't correct ( it was a Conklin) I knew exactly what it was. A similiar pen came up later and I asked the relevant question , mentioning as an aside the pen I'd purchased wasn't correctly advertised. An immediate offer to fully refund or a discount , both of which I declined as I knew what I was buying. He offered free freight on the next pen....which I haven't bought !! All up mistakes happen but this guy is more than happy to try to correct any errors, I was impressed with his open approach.

Yep. The pursuit of honor in business is not in seeking infallibility (not that errors should be embraced) but in how one deals with his errors.
