The original attachment wires are completely intact and tight. The screw post is over 7 mm long, shortened by a couple of millimeters for convenience but fully functional with its threads intact, and includes the original screw plate with a stamped serial number "8918". Overall, a superb piece, extremely rare in this condition.
