Location: Traverse City, MI		Hello all!

I'm curious if there are many of these below the bride chips out there? It is the only cosmetic defect on my mint Breadwinner LTD, and it looks like it was a factory flaw, and I've noticed it on my Viper III as well in the exact same place...

This picture of a Viper III on ebay shows the chip pretty clearly...it is the 2nd picture on the right.

Wondering if it was a certain production run, or certain year in which the cutting tool might have been dull and cause a few of the bodies to chip during the process?

Thanks
