IMO frame is OK but core is replacement. We need straight photo of front with clear dates.

Opened frames seam lines jumped out at me. These are usually pretty good on good EKIs aren't they? Were there makers where you could expect to see poorly finished frames or is this mostly a good indicator of re-openings?
