Here is my results from the stroke length:








I might have an error rate from hand and sharpie use but I bet its ~3.5" stroke.

So it seems it is actually a 360 (3.5 stroke), not a 390 (3.78 stroke) if I am correct. The p.o. pulling the old "it's a 390" game says all you need to know about his word. As stated before, this kind of testing is well worth the knowledge gained about what you have, and what's the condition of it.
