love4history Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I'd like to get hold of one of these, but they're too expensive too mess around with without knowledge, that's why the question. This one is sold as an original, but is it?Thanks for your opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is sold as an original, but is it?Thanks for your opinion!Difficult to say the photo is far to shiny and every time I click on the thing to try and get a better image all I get is this damned imageshack website and cheesy adverts.A better shot (less shiny and with better contast and definition) should help.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love4history Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Thank you both very much for your opinion. I let it pass as I wasn't entirely sure of it being genuine or not... went out of my budget anyway (sold yesterday for 335 ? on ebay.it)cheersL4H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Ostapenko Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 fake ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
censlenov Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'm certainly what you'd call new to the area but i also think its fake the loop has some feature which point to it being wrong, the numbering is not of the style i've ever seen, there appears to be some piting marks and it generally just looks like a cast piece.CheersChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love4history Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 thanks gents! when you point it out it does become more visible indeed: pitting for cast pieces and numbering style... can't see the difference in the loop though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just comparing it with the earlier one clearly shows the difference.All the best,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
