Hi Guys

I would say this one is bad and commonly referred to as the MK Fake.

It has been seen as a hollow and a solid with various hardware set ups.
Normally, these are artificially aged but lately these have been appearing in nice condition...like this one.

Best Regards, fischer

Thanks Fischer, you are really the "man" when it comes to determine a IAB

Must say the MK Fake can deceive since it surley looks original

Indeed a very common fake out there.

Scary fake... I thought it was real for sure. I always think I am getting the hang of fake spotting, and then something like this comes along and rattles my confidence, which is a good thing!

[Glenn66]

Yup, I was leaning towards it being 'good' too!

Hi Guys

This one is one of the more believable fakes IMO and if not for the flaw, this one would be difficult to discredit.
A good portion of the fakes are bad copies of originals and when compared side by side, details that are wrong become very apparent.

Here is another dangerous fake that closely resembles the Schickle/BHMayer examples.
