Not faded or smeared a bit when I released it from its impacted grime sarcophagus a year ago. The stamping was razor sharp, in fact, just not deep.Meaning either someone takes shitty/blurry photos (which I think is most likely), or some absolutely braindead hamfisted fuckin' idiot dumbass decided to "shine things up" before TAKING the pix (which I hope to hell isn't the case).
In the words of the Deer Hunter character Axel, "Fuckin-A Right".
