Should Jazz have an Agent Meister sticker on the windshield?
 

The sticker on top of the windshield reads Agent Meister but I've got a second windshield here to swap on without the sticker. I'm wondering if the one on there now is from a different figure or if it actually came with this sticker.

if you went to the collectors show last week here in calgary,i'm going to guess you bought jazz from a local member who was at the two tables with nothing but tf's.
if so,then those are reprolabels,as i know a couple of those alts/binaltechs he was selling have been upgraded with reprolabels to look that much better.the alt mirage also looked sick with the upgrades.

The version that says "Agent Meister" is the Takara bookstyle reissue. The original said "Martinii Porche".

we talking g1 or alternators?

I bought it from a friend 3 years ago. The dates check out as vintage but the sticker is there. I was just wondering if at some point someone swapped the windshield on it.

You can't go by the dates, where was it manufactured? If it's China, then it's a recent reissue.

Date on the foot reads "1980 - 1984 Japan."

Perhaps someone repaired that section using an identical part from the reissue or maybe it's an original part but someone just prettied it up using reissue stickers.

I've tried using a reissue part to repair a G1 Jazz. The underside of the foot on the reissue is not identical to the original. It will fit, but it is not a sleek and would be quite noticeable. The original piece will not actually fit on the re-issue to my recollection.

The "agent Meister" sticker is definitely from the white-boxed "Collection series". Probably someone switched the windshield/roof piece. That's not too hard to do and it fits.

The re-issue bears the original stamp i.e., 1980-84 and also has a newer stamp. I think it is "2000" but can't recall offhand.

It's quite obviously a roof from a different Jazz, I guess I should have known better than to think it was original.
