    Don't like it, the back is wrong and the front does not look good either.

        your image #140 tells it all unfortunately. when the "R" and "P" holes are the same its a nogo. check out the archives on original examples. youll clearly see the difference in the shapes of the centers of the "R" and "P". Glenn

          Hi Glenn

          We must be careful about the size of the R & P holes (which can be the same size on original AKCT's). Another bad sign is the diamond shaped O on the reverse like this one displays in # 143. Its the weave on the reverse of the letters that gives this one away, the bad ones have a more tartan appearance.

          with regards
          Tim

              One thing I have noticed on most originals is on the first A the inner triangle has a crevice that slopes inwards.

              Iam really terrible at using paintshop but this poor excuse for art is what I mean.

                Most originals i have seen have perfect shaped triangles in both A's, front & back. Heres one with the little crevice in the A as so well displayed above
                But there are more variations to these than was first thought...

                  yes, there are a lot of variations I have noticed.

                  I use the crevice in the A for a quick way to ID, it has helped me out at times.

                  sorry for the crappy illustration
