I would guess that the two gun manufacturing facilities in Japan used the same lube.

When I say I bought this gun unmarked /unmolested, that was true but quite temporary.
I've learned a lot reading these pages, so arranged for the gun to 'enjoy' a stopover with Briley for a diss-assemble and clean.
On receipt of gun I was staggered to find whoever worked on the gun at Briley severely marred the top screw under the opening switch and both trigger plate screws.
Took awhile to recover from the shock of paying somebody to damage my new gun but the subsequent FTF/Doubling and cracking is approaching 'too much'.
