Asked the seller and he says it has a textured bowl. But has the five point bridge. Seems that they started with the textured bowls around serial # B-600 (?).

At that time I think there were some odd combinations. Last year in ebay was a textured bowl with winged bridge, but it had the inlaid rosette.
