Mine still has its original shape. it hasn't warped or changed at all. a year later i bought my girlfriend a B17S imperial that got warped in a fashion similar to yours within a few months. I have heard stories about them having poor quality control recently, so i'm wondering if that might be the reason.

You definitely ought to send Brooks some pictures of yours and see what they think.
