Wouldn't be the first time I thought "normal" was over here but it's still over there, and won't be the last.
I couldn't wait , I don't know why I said measure cavity side down before, what an idiot . Anyway, only way I can make sense of it is perhaps someone punched it out as suggested. However, you'll have to take my word for it the cap is noticeably heavier. 50/50ish they made different ones & the 3.1" wasn't often. Maybe it's a reproduction ?? Tell me what I'm missing.

Interesting... My only guess is the mystery cap is very early in the run as it is polished, heavy and looks to be chrome over brass.
