I came across this on ebay, and I've never seen one like it. Is this an Imperial made with an E1 handset?

The only thing I see here suspicious is the replaced brass dial.

Never mind, found one exactly like this in another listing. Must be a repro.

Here's a picture of the 2nd one.  I noticed the wrong dial right away.  Don't know if WE would have issued those Imperials with a E-1, but it does look nice.  Just need to switch out the dial.  Sold for $135 which seems way too high.
