Single-Gather Handmade, Transitional?

Hiya, I bought this based on photos online, thinking it resembled a single gather/transitional. Upon arrival I've not been able to find a pontil scar/facetted pontil etc. 
But it's certainly an interesting one. 
There's a small area that looks like it could have been a ground pontil, now worn down a bit, but I'm not convincing myself yet. It's where all the white come to an end n the 2nd photo. 
It's got a weird "tail" that appears as a blob of glass in a small indent, that then runs and drizzles off. 
No real ideas on what that could be. 

What I do know: It's got that faint Manganese glass glow under 265nm, like Greiners I have. The glass "feels" old - I know, I know. but it feels a lot like my german handmades and my greiners. Not like any of my modern machine/handmades. 
There's a few spots of "debris" in the glass, also a lot like my Greiners. and a few small "pop" marks. 
Someone suggested it could be a newer "lamp/torch" marble. 
It honestly doesn't look machine made, but again I could be wrong. And it may be a transitional, where the "blob" is hiding a crease? 

Whatever it is, it didn't cost me an arm and a leg, and it's quite lovely. 
24mm/0.94"

Thanks!

Managed to get a picture of what I thought could be a ground pontil, but not sure. Might be wear/damage. So hard to photograph...
Also added a picture of the ground/faceted pontil of one of my confirmed Greiners. which I managed to photograph a little while ago.
