BOULON DE FILTRE À HUILE
 
I took mine out to check for an oil leak recently. Pretty sure I remember a ring of solder on it. The original part looks different to the Andover image, having a ring of solder.

Je pense qu'il est soudé. L'original est différent de l'image d'Andover Norton. Il a un anneau de soudure.
 
This is also what a friend who bought a new one thinks: glued more welded. Thank you very much Gadge ;)
 
The stock Commando one has a thin band of what looks like silver solder (quite hard to scratch)
It only goes around 2 mm into the tube it seats in, is all but flush at the gauze with a tiny fillet with nothing on the tube OD.

If they were done by hand it was by a craftsman.
The modern ones are most likely not like that.
