Default 480 Distributor Stamping

Can I get some feedback as far as this being an original piece?

Thanks

Fugazi IMHO. I don’t like the stamping.

Agree. Looks like someone tried to replicate the "dots" on each corner of the triangle of the four by hitting it with a punch at the top. Didn't work and they gave up.

Real "4" looks like this, although this one has some wear.

I didn't want to give too much away, but search this forum; there are plenty of pics of real 1111480 distributors here to compare to. Cheers.
