It's really a standard edition with a 1960 Special Edition cap on it. A Frankenpen if you will.
I would never know. The buyer may not know. And the seller may very well not know either. Actually, I'd presume the seller was acting in good faith and they were unaware of the issue too. But if a forum member noticed the problem - shouldn't he say something so we can all learn?
It's this kind of issues I think should be commented on in a hobbyist forum. I agree that comments on condition, price, etc. would violate netiquette.
