Thanks guys, it was mine, i think the new owner doubted its authenticity

[siton12]

And he will continue to dought it...To my limited knowledge the letter A should not interfere with F and the internal parts of P and R shoul not be the same also,neither happens in that "textbook" example.I should not have take it in the first place I d rather take the one Im posting from a dealer for a few euros more,just simple as that...

Siton,

the R and P thing is not true. The devil is in the detail of the weave of the back. I have like 4 or 5 variations of the AFRIKAKORPS cuff title. This one is perfectly fine and you have no reason to worry about it. There are a ton of great threads on these cuff titles. Its your money but this one is fine. Matt

[Bond]

IMO, you need to do more research, because in some examples the holes in the R & P can be the same size, whilst the A & F can come close together as in this example, but cannot intertwine. Check all the threads on these, as many examples considered original are the same as the example you doubt.



Regards,

Jerry

Siton,

You posted pictures of the cuff before you bought it and it was given the thumbs up then, so i do not see what you are crying about.

To be honest, send it back to me, i will refund you minus the shipping, i really do not mind, the choice the yours my friend.

That cuff is an honest used example, not some un-issued item thats been sat in a draw for years. I find it a little irrating how you post it once before you buy it, and it gets thumbs up, then you receive it and post again doubting it authenticity, dont waste my time !
