Hi Binastro, I have a model 804 HR5, not sure of the year, but have never noticed a glare problem with it. I did however notice such an issue with the earlier Audubon, gold band model, which I solved by stripping down and matt blacking the inside of the body, including the chrome nuts which hold the lanyard fixing.
I now slightly prefer view of the older gold band model, although must be said the HR5 is a lot less weighty and easier to handle.
probably already out with what the year of manufacture of your Swift, if not, the first two digits of the serial number indicate the year.
