Fake AWS Pillow Back

[Element7]

All,

I have not seen this one before and thought I would share this one for anyone who may encounter it. When viewing the obverse you can actually see lines where the pillow starts leading me to believe its a one piece casting. Of course it has other issues that IMO keep it from being a dangerous fake but for what its worth here it is.

I started seeing these show up back in January 2018. This faker actually does
a really good job on some of the details. I've also seen fakes that he has
done of WS, Godet, J Wagner and KMST crosses. All use convincing style
hardware to make you think they are the real deal. However all of the cores
remain the same as do the obverse frames. The AWS is easy to spot because
of one really big mistake. I've never pointed it out so that the faker does not
change it.

I am pretty sure I know exactly what you're referring to and I originally mentioned it when typing but decided to not be so specific. Don't want to make it so easy for them.
