THoughts on this CCC in silver

04-10-2010, 10:03 AM

Hi all,

the CCC is way out of my league and was wandering people's thoughts on this 'mint' silver one. These are the only pics so far. Am asking for more of them.

Thanks in advance.

Mark

This is a fake that has been around for some time. Check the fake gallery.

I have always liked this fake - it has better detail and finish than the original "F&BL" CCCs.
