"scratches" On Lamy Al-Star Coffee

[casasmith]

I'm a new FP convert...and now officially a Lamy addict...7 Al stars, 4 safaris, 1 cp1, 1 studio;

anyway, bought a coffee "New" from an ebay dealer...just recently looked closely at it and the "LAMY" on the barrel has lines coming off the letters to the edge of the surface. Sort of like there was a problem with the machine that created the logo...all the lines are continuation of the lines in the letters (hope that is not too confusing)...it's driving me crazy...it is obviously a defect, (I hope)...and the place I got it from won't take it back...

anyway, any help on this mystery would be GREATLY appreciated!!
