Since there's no magnifier on those auctions you can't see the edge. The 03 leaf will have a fine crosshatch pattern for finer adjustments. They were actually made from 1898 leafs, so other than the additional machining on the side, no difference. Oh, the slider had a part in it that rides in the center notch you can see in his pics of the leaf. The original 98 leaf didn't have that, and no vertical slots to catch the slider. There's two or three sizes of the vertical slots that have been used. With the finer ones, it becomes hard to feel the movement of one slot. Scroll down in this post to see some of the differences in leafs, from the side. http://www.kragcollectorsassociation...num=1480345389
