The slow speeds on the II are sluggish. The I has a leather wear spot just below the right strap lug. The II has brassing of the strap lugs, a mark in the center of the back from a former case snap and some wear to the front where gripped by the right hand of the operator. The aperture of the I has some rust on the blades but still works smoothly.
