F&BL Bronze CCC opinions....

[Crusader17]

There are many posts about fake F&BLs, so I need some help on this one.

It's mint, and was purchased from a very, very reputable dealer, but reading on these has caused me to be a bit uneasy. Thanks in advance for your help.

Fake bronze FB&L CCC

I got burned with this such fake FB&L bronze CCC 3 years ago. One year later after my encounter with this such fake bronze CCC,I finally found a nice 100% original FB&L bronze CCC on e-Stand and I bought it from a fellow WAF member. Now it sit in my collection as my main attraction. I learned my lesson hard way after being burned with fake CCC. Be careful with those such fakes!

Sorry its a fake the thing to look for on an F&BL is the makers mark must be upside down as you look at the back of the badge above the retaining hook and slightly obscured the retaining hook if the mark is any different from this no matter how good the bar looks it will be a copy

AGREED, the most common type of fake CCC to be encountered.
