Re: 1912 F2 fretboard
Almost all the F-2 fretboards I Googled do not have a pearl dot at the 3rd fret. The one that does specifically mentions "replaced fretboard."
We're all aware that Gibson didn't always enforce uniformity, that exceptions occur to the "standard specs." So, not convinced this is a "smoking gun." But along with the differently-shaped extension, it does suggest a replacement.
