To all LAMY Al-Star / LX Owners

When I got my LAMY Al-Star two days ago, I enjoyed it. It wrote beautifully, and I was amazed by the Extra-Fine nib and how precise it is. However, my problem with the pen was how tight the body thread was and the clear grip. The body thread problem was resolved with a bit of Silicone Grease and more usage to loosen it up a bit, but the clear grip however was another situation.

When I was writing, I aimed the clear grip at my desk light and saw some scratches on it, at first I was concerned because this is a brand new pen, but then I quickly calmed down and accepted reality as I said to myself "I was gonna make those scratches myself if it wasn't there anyways".

So my question is:

When you bought your LAMY Al-Star / LX, did it come with the same scratches?
