Sorry I didn't get the ends of it.... it's too long for my scanner.

Hi Jason, it is bad.

Please see my pinned thread for how to tell an original from a fake.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks for the info ... a few great things to look for.
-----
1) most org. items have a size diff in the R & P interior of the loops (for lack of a better wording)
2) A & F not touching
3) tartan appearance of the reverse weave.
4) "almost" diamond shape of the O on the reverse
-----
Hard to say what I'm out $ wise since I got it in a small collection of stuff bought a few yrs. ago.
Thanks so much for some fine pointers....
I think i shall steer clear of cloth items...my eye seems to be better at the metal stuff.

Gonna make a hell of a cool book mark though.
Thanks again Ade.
Take care,
jason
