Pictured are two 505 in process I noticed this a few years back. If you look closely at the handle lock screw heads they have a perfect round or dome shape to them.
I noticed that later 500 series models these screws are flattened at the very tip top of the screws. I think this change began with the late model 508....Thought's?? Jim
