Fork problem on a 70s Witcomb

I have a 70s Witcomb with nice wrap around stays and campagnolo dropouts. The bike frame looks to be in very good shape but there is a visible gap between the fork crown and fork blades on the outside.

I'm not quite sure what to do about this (and how concerned should I be about this)?

If it's just that underfill, I don't think I would worry about it.

Agreed. Ignore, ride and be happy. Totally fine.

This gap hasn't been a problem for how many years? One of the beauties of lugged/socketed joins is the amount of overkill that is usually the case. Andy
