      No they aren't, they are more than 1.5 mm smaller in both dimensions which is a classic sign of a casting.

      A comparison of the eagle details reveals this one is a casting as well, there is noticeble weaker details on the casting compared with an original S&L. Combined with the smaller dimensions and known fake Deumer maker mark, I think it is quite clear we are looking at a cast fake here. They did a good job with the catch, but everything else is wrong.

      If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little

        Should be at least 27g - I hate to say it but I'm with Tom on this. Damn fine casting job. A good lesson to all on what quality casting can do.
