Hello,

Is it only me that can't see it? Stewy

I am new here.
It's a Staegmeier fake.This is an early version that's been around for a decade. The fat, round wire catch gives it away as that was never used on originals, only flat wire. Since then he's improved it to make what is virtually a perfect fake that will be very hard to spot in a few short years.

Hi there, is it possible to see some close up pics of the crimping around the catch please? Stewy
Ned stepped in while I was typing. Good call old mate. Must admit I wouldn't of known the "faker". Stewy
Here's my genuine example for comparison. Note the difference in texture of the base material, another thing that the faker has now resolved.

Thanks for the quick replay big ned!
I have send the seller a mail for a full refund.
too my untrained eye it looks good, still a lot to learn on this subject!
Good luck with the refund. In future try to post prospective purchases here first for verification, that way it will save a lot of tears and money.by sbg
By the way, welcome to the forum.
