Oh hey, I have one of those forks! Scored it for nothing - it had been junked, presumably had an incident on a roof rack; one dropout was severely bent. Bent it back, which required heaps of force, and then rode it for years.
My verdict - despite weighing fuck-all, these are tough as nails. Nice shape, too.
Wouldn't be concerned at all about the shiny ring from the headset collet.
