The only other place I've seen a fake just like mine is on Whatchuseek (https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/fake ... er.636310/). A guy found one in a storage auction and was wondering if it was fake or genuine. I tried contacting the guy, but haven't heard back from him. Like I said, fakes, be they bad or complete, make for interesting conversation. |
