Man those are some bad pics. Bad pics in this day and age usually mean the seller is trying to cover something up.

If he can't come off the hip with better pics, I would pass on it unless it is just an absolute steal of price. Even if it is original, it looks to be in rough shape and I wouldn't take the chance on it. AGMuKs are very common and finding one in much better condition would not be a problem.

Yeh, I looked long and hard at this one on the auction site as well. Guy did´nt want to send any better pics either. At least not to me that is.

Like Tom says, I decided to avoid this. Better safe than sorry.

You ever notice how often people's cameras are "broken" when you ask for more/better photos?

Yeh Don. Or the ones you get are even more fuzzy or darker than the originals. Funny in these days of super macro closeups even in telephone cameras.

Thank you! But how can I see that? Looks real at all fotos in books, I cant see differences!?

Not photos from my book .

Do a search on the forum for "Fake AGMuK CCC" and you will find several threads on what to look for on this particular fake. It has been discussed a lot in the past.

the new photos expose this for what it is, a quiet good attempt to copy the AGMuK with 4 nose crimps.
