Hello Londonjay, this one is interesting. I have not seen a variation of the S.H.u.Co like this before. Please provide more pictures as I am not sure that it is authentic. The maker mark is too high and the hinge is of the wrong design and is too low from what is usually seen with this maker. I also don't like the raised edges. However, it is not a fake that I have come across either.

Hi Booboo. I'm pretty sure its authentic but I've uploaded some more pic's for you for a closer look! There is some small corrosion in places on the back which may be water damage? Many thanks
Jay.

Hi Jay

Your IAB is a nice original ShuCo 5 vein...Hardware is correct and the position variation of the mm on the 5 vein examples is a known trait.

Here is one of mine with the mm under the hinge.

Best Regards, fischer

Thanks for the extra pictures. I do recognise the catch and the fact it opens to the left. It is good to see new variants, thanks. One to add to my records.
