2 BWB's for review

[Tombak]

Hello everyone,

My father picked these up for me while out of town. The second one with the packet I don't really like because of the soft features and the pin setup. Can yall help me out on these. I was getting confident on BWB's til I saw these

The Carl Wild looks OK to me - possibly a little messed around.

The second BWB I'm concerned about; the front looks soft, the state of the rear - the rusting does not look right, also the catch. More research required.

Yeah the Carl Wild looks to be a repaint to me. In the sunlight I can see another layer of leftover paint in a few areas.

The 107 BWB doesn´t look repainted to me from those pics. This maker is known to have a thick and "new" finish on their BWB´s.

The other one looks more fishy to me to be honest.

Hello

I agree with Hans the 107 badge looks good.
And the UM black with the L22 design are IMO a Souval
made copy.

Cheers,

I don´t know how i could miss the last one being a Souval fake, the tell signs are there in plain veiw Well atleast i can comfort me with the fact that my warning bells worked.

So what are the signs of a Souval fake?
