Benz miro mc3

What is the tracking force for it please? I just bought an NOS, and the seller said it should be 1.31g. I am confused.
Thanks

Too high, (which would need to be over 4 or 5 grams) and you'll get excessive wear on both the cartridge and vinyl. I have always recommended a tracking force at the upper end of the manufacturer's recommendation range. I would track the MC3 around 1.9 to 2.0 grams, if it were mine.
