I wouldn't buy those Gerard, wrong metal & the horrible lugs on both, give them back mate,

As Wilf has mentioned. That particular and strange "GM" finish(?) is indicative of copies/fakes and restrikes. Once you have seen a few more with that type of finish, you will recognise it very easily.... I know I do. Notwithstanding all the other possible 'fake' signs.

Thanks again

Gerard
