Noticeable Finish Difference In IH Frames

[AngelAir]

So I've noticed a big difference in one of my three IH frames. Almost looks like titanium but I don't have a titanium frame to compare it to. All 3 frames have the IH sku number.
Anyone else notice this on thiers?

You have a lot of IH Juliets I don't even have one. This is what you have "left" after the set you sold correct?

Also, which frame is the one in question?

I only have one NIB left and these frames. It's the frames in the middle.

Kinda hard for me to discern, but I think you are saying the middle frames are more "matte" than the other 2? If that's the case that is interesting. Is the "matte" consistency uniform or just more so on the nose coupler?

It is a darker more satin looking finish. It doesn't shine like the other 2 frames. It is more noticeable on the nose because of the larger surface area. I think the entire frame has this look. I like it!

which one has the matching box?

From what I can tell, it looks like it's just the nose bridge that is different than the other two.
