Good or Fake?

#1

Post by oRion » 31 Mar 2015, 18:52

Hello all.
I need a help with an item i'm intrested. It's the only photo that i have for the moment. Any help will be useful. Seems ok but i'm not an expert and have been away from the sport for sometime.. It's from an on-line shop (that is considered trust worthy).. I can pm you the name if someone has a say on that.
Thank you in advance

The front looks o.k., but impossible to tell ANYTHING without seeing the reverse and pin & catch, markings, etc., so no way of knowing.

Based on the photos... I'd say this one is original... front, reverse, pin, hinge, catch & top hook base attachment all conform to this version IMHO. Has been poorly "finished" around the eagle head but that maybe from the "hook attachment" flux....

Best I can do with being "in hand"....
