Houndstooth DD dials?

I’ve seen these “houndstooth” pattern dials fairly often on DJs, but this is only the 2nd or 3rd DD one I can recall.

These would seem to be quite an unlikely target for fakers. Like Stellas, they were unpopular when released. Unlike Stellas though, they have remained unpopular ever since!

As a result, these don’t command much price premium (which seems bound to somewhat reduce the motivation for fakery).

I sorta like the look - Does anyone know if these houndstooth DD dials are indeed legit, as I expect? Anyone see any concerns about this one in particular (beyond a bit of lume damage)?

TIA!

Yes, I would agree. The pyramid dials are one of my favorites.

The hounds tooth dial - not so much, but, it is not a common dial indeed.
