Yes indeed. I felt a Great Disturbance in The Force when my daily Reverb feed lit up with that one. ;D
That's a nice one! Cool looking 70s-like omega.
Nice bass. That omega looks like it may have been reworked as the result of snapped tips, but the good thing is they will never break off again!

Good eye. I was wondering about that aspect of the bass as well.
The owner does mention that it was recently at Alembic getting refurbished.
Maybe he "forgot" to mention that detail.

You are correct. I just asked the seller directly about this and he confirmed.
