Mark,

These titles are faked.

Can you do less blurred photos please and one of the front also.

regards

Mark,

Much better.

IMHO its an original title. Some are manufactured in 1 or 2 or 3 pieces, some purists only collect 1 piece ones but I dont think it matters.

I feel that the top loop is OK but possibly one or both the bottom loops are replacements.

regards

Many thanks Gents...I didn't realise these could be such a minefield. I am on the lookout for a T 7 to go with this one if anyone has a spare or knows where there is a good one.I will put a wants add in classified.On closer inspection, 1 lug seems to be soldered while the other 2 brazed ? Anyway, will keep hold of it.

Cheers, Mark
