Well done Ned, (99.99%) times spot on. Not even a poor picture like this one can deceive you, take care, Juan

No Ned I make you right, on closer inspection. Headlights did worry me slightly first time around but I put that down to the neck breaking pics. I'm sure I've seen an off centre ejector mark like this but that was what convinced me it was ok. Most Orth fakes don't bother with that. IMO opinion a well constructed fake. Not coz I never picked up on it, but more thought to deceive has gone into this one. Good spot & call mate. And you know me, no offence taken

Regards, Ned.

Just found this. Note the identical flaw and the cast hinge, this is a recent fake. Good enough for me.
