That little report said that the Gen1 and Gen2 were identical apart from the sticker indentation.

That makes those Gen2, same as Bills ones in the box (and the one I found at the weekend)

Look a Bill's Gen 2 , they are more rounded section ( edges ) .

Modified my post above with Gen 2 pic .

I gotta say, I think I agree. Also, the two I found look like they are Gen 2 (slightly rounded) and Gen 2.5 (boxed but with indentation). They sure dont look like gen3 (same as modern ones but with no engraving and with a sticker indentation). I will get pics of them this week.

Someone needs to do a propper lineup picture of all types. Now, who wants to "lend" me their gen1s?

OK, I changed my mind. I think the gen1 are the same box shape as gen2. I think that the photo of Bills Gen2s just dont really show it to well. I also think that the pics posted before are just a set of boxey gen2 and a set of rounded gen3. The Gen3 are the same shape at GT stamped profiles, but without the stamping and with a sticker indentation.

I checked out mine last night. I have got some box shaped Gen2s, and some Gen3s. I compaired the Gen3s to some GT stamped profiles I have got and they are the same. Not as rounded as new ones (a bit square) but not as square as Gen2s.

Here are some pics of mine:


Gen2s






Gen 3s
