Unhappy Fake or Original IRISH Shoulder Titles

Gentlemen,
i sold these items on greedbay the other day and have been informed by the purchaser that he deems them to be fakes.
I am happily refunding the guy, but want any opinions on the attached items from those gurus of you.
It is not my intent to mislead fellow collectors and am therefore trying to ensure that the gentleman has a valid case for returning the items. Furthermore, i will be the wiser!!!
regards
Jon

Always so difficult to be precise. Camera flash can distort, photographic angles also. Let us see the reverses at an angle, without flash please. We can magnify to see, but from what I see so far, none of the usual signs of 'fakery'.

Default Further pics once items received

Once the buyer returns the items i will take better photographs.
They looked really good, which is a shame.
That said, if he is not happy, and they pass the devilishly close up from you guys, then i will always be able to relist them, so no great shakes.
Thanks for the quick response
Jon

I can see why the buyer may not like the DF titles as compared with these they look a bit skimpy. Also, all my similarly shaped OTC titles have four loops, two at the top and two at the bottom.
