Hello all. I need opinion on it is good or badly

Hi Cook,
This one is no good. IMO this is probably one of the best fakes around.
Very difficult to tell the difference between the original and the fake.
One way to tell the difference is that these fakes are NOT magnetic.

Yes you are right -- these not magnetic, and many thanks Pascal

Still very similar Kuban.
Original? Thanks, Pascal.

Old oxide inside...

Chemically applied patina.

This shield has been treated with chemicals. There is nothing old about this shield.

Hi Don,
Must have been posting at the same time.
Just like the saying goes "Great minds think alike" .

Alex,
I suppose this shield is also non-magnetic?
