Persol 649 Question

Picked up a pair of Persol 649's online. First pair I received was slightly scratched, and ordered a replacement. Second pair arrived, looked good, but one of the arms was straight, while the other bent slightly inward, essentially allowing for the arms to fold completely flat. The first had the arms evenly bent, though they didn't close completely flush to the frame. My question is which is normal? Both of them also seem to have a very fine polish visible, usually only so when viewed under a direct or harsh light. I was expecting more of a mirror finish, but just wanted to make sure this was normal as well. Thanks.
