They could be original - Gibson did use those, though maybe not until later on the Victory IIRC;  they may not have existed this early .... you're probably right.

Also, is it not odd to see this colour on a Triumph (at first look I thought it was an original LPB because of that)?

His website is still under construction but he does have a Facebook page with a lot of gear listed. His prices seem reasonable too.

I haven't been in there yet. He does seem to have quite a bit of bass gear. I won't be buying any gear anytime soon but next time I'm in the neighborhood during business hours I'll try to drop in.

I've been meaning on checking his store out for a while now. There are actually a few newer stores around town I haven't hit yet. Maybe he'll have a booth at the Musicians Trade Fair on March 7th.
I won't be buying anything for a while either, I still have 11 easy payments left to pay from my last purchase, LOL.
