I assume this is fake but I may be wrong. Reminds me of ref 178 but has ref 1203 which I can't find. Never seen raised letters inside a case back.

Thanks for the info Fred. It's a super learning experience to gain the knowledge to spot fakes. I appear to be improving. And it's also a fun game between patients.

Part of the Polish joke collection - see my earlier post. Sellers name is tarpaulinaccessories, he should stick to selling tarps!
