The checkering is right. Maybe lightly recut as dean suggests. I think finish may have also been added to the stock and that filled in the borders some. Original borders are lightly cut and are the first thing to wear down.
The lever fit is fine. And the engraving is just something that is less than ideal, but not uncommon for production work. There are 5 legged dogs out there too.
