Flatwire cap TK for review

[Waffenreich]

Good day Gents,

Another member and I were discussing this "cap removed" TK. He has doubts about it so I'm posting it for opinions. I love the wear, but am troubled a bit by the looseness of the weave. Is this stitch for stitch identical to a known fake and if so, can somebody please post a pic of it?

Thanks in advance!

Bob

Nope, looks like a tinselly droopy eye fake to me

In his favour he has got a lovely smile though

So who was the unlucky winner of this?

Thanks for the feedback. This TK was offered to me in trade last week as part of a deal I WAS working with a member who monitors this Forum. I say WAS because it certainly isn't going to happen now

Kind of ****ty to offer something before an auction closed, and fake at that

Thanks again for sparing me some grief!

Tom,
That is not true. Manions can be a very good source of original items. FYI, a 100% original flat wire skull sold recently on Manions. I think it was last month.
