I have a chance to get this, and was wondering what you all think of this, it seems correct, the screw on type pins on the back, and the solid nose, and the details seems to be spot on.

I know if this turns out to authentic, i could get some crap from others for showing the coveted back.

What would the value be at, considering the back plate, and screws are missing.


Please let me know.

Thanks

i dont remember if the nose was like that or it might have a hole

[blackheart0866]

Every single original i have seen or held was made like this, solid nose and all.

And the metal seems correct also.

The nose on these does not have a hole.

Any way to get crisper photos? The lettering doesn't quite look crisp.

There was another thread posted last month I believe that had examples of good and bad examples, hope this well help brian

The owner of it, is suppose to be sending me more detailed pics, and if this authentic, this will be the first pic of the back of one of these.

I did look at other threads on here, and this does match the originals from what i have seen so far.

Well that's a good thing hopefully you will find that it is real, cause I have no idea haha

If you look at the left side lower bone, you can see a curved type cut in it, and on the fakes, that is not there, and on every original posted here, including the one I'm buying has that same curve to it.

It also has the same exact skull marks on it, i marked in red what i mean.


And i remember reading somewhere that the backs of these were not maker marked.

I'm really surprised there are not more people chiming in about this item, as these seem to draw a lot of attention.
