Yup. It seems like it says "metric" and "34.7 x 1.00" on the extractor boss. It wasn't listed as French threaded. It wasn't listed with any threading specified at all! A risky decision, because of that and because the seller was selling several other identical ones, all with English threading. What if the seller sent me the wrong one? It is marked "SJ" - 1976 October - so as Anton Chigurh would say, it's been traveling 43 years to get here. And now it's here. And it's either metric or English. And I had to say. Call it.

A week later, here it is! And it is, indeed metric. Phew! What's the most you've ever lost on an Ebay listing?
