In this case, the yellowing of your part benefits my needs. It shows up the etching with greater contrast.

Some differences that appear when compared to the Reissue nose:
* The two squares on the top, down by the shoulder, are more square on the older cone. On the newer Reissue, the molding seam runs between them and they are narrower.
* The cockpit corners are more rounded on the older cone, like they are on the 50B. The reissue has sharper corners on the cockpit edges.
* The hump on the back edge of the cockpit sticks a bit past the edged line that goes around the nose on the older cone. On the Reissue, the cockpit ends abruptly at that line.
