Default Fake too?

Its been laquered, the lugs look to be in the right position compared to Andy's, the symbols are slightly different.

Phil and JB,
sorry, both I am pretty sure are copies, the key is in the Symbols, as Phil points out, amongst some other subtle variations that are only present on genuine examples! I would post these details here but promised some years back, when they were pointed out to me that I would not openly publish what these were! It's not too hard to work out if you compare them to the real deal!



Andy

JB,
I'm very certain the one on SMM is correct, but of course I would say that as it is mine!

Best regards

Andy
