Hi Alexandre,

Well IMO there is something wrong with this S&L design IAB. Never ever did I encounter this set-up on this maker before and this now is the fourth one I see in a couple of weeks.

Although they look rather convincing I wouldn' touch them. Is there a maker mark on the packet by any chance?

Stay away from this IAB .... i had such a piece for a closer inspection in my hands 2 weeks ago and it's a imo a well made cast copy from this IAB Design.

not sure if this falls in to the variant category of the above IAB's or if this is a product of some other gang of crooks.

The interesting thing here is that apparently they picked up on the S&L lead. A bit strange isn't it because even now half the collectors community considers them Juncker.

Quite obvious that the crooks are very active on this forum and incorporating new knowledge in to their products
