Either fake or poorly refinished. The lettering looks weird, almost like it was engraved. The originals would have been stamped. It's possible it was buffed to death and someone engraved over the original text before replating it, although that seems like a lot of time and money spent. I would stay away from that piece; it certainly doesn't look original. |

Prices up to 300 or 400 US dollars will be paid for the bigger MtV mouthpieces (from 3C to 1). And that will make that we will see more and more fake Mt Vernons, it's a certain side of the nature of the human species/ kleptomaniac ape.
I know some players that are real players who think the genuine MtV's are worth it. |
