Good One.

Looks like a good JFS to me, but wait to make sure. Finish and hardware look correct. --Ken

I can only agree,this is fake PAB,many details wrong on this one.

Gosh dang it...

I am going to have to concur. I oversized the pictures and I've circled the areas that, in sum, are too many. It is a fabulous copy.

[Bobki52]

At least my fake is fabulous

Thanks for the information Panzercracker. At least I have a fabulous fake, and not a crappy fake.

Is it appropriate to share seller information on this forum? In other words, do members want to know who is selling fakes?

Hi guys,

Bob, all dealers sell fakes at one time or another. Some fakes are so well made, that its hard for everyone to keep track of them and one or two can slip through from time to time. It is now they handle the situation that makes the difference between a good dealer and a fake-peddler. Personally, I would give him the benefit of the doubt first, and see if he will give you your money back on these fakes. Most good, reputable dealers will give you a return. However, if your dealer does not, then he is not "reputable" and would have no problem naming him on the forum as a warning to other guys that he does not stand behind his offerings.

Good luck!

Tom
