If you buy it, it will soon be junk in your trunk.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Hmm

Sometimes it's better to have quality more than quantity.

I totally understand. I am enjoying a Hot Cup of Tiger blood as we speak. I wonder if the price of rock and powder Blow has made a significant price jump in the LA area in the last three months? They have to be running low.

...can anyone elaborate?

what are the tale-tell signs that these are copies/junk? anything?

[Dr. Strangelove]

Bad

Using the Forum search function and looking at known real examples of real items will help you. These are actually horrifically bad. You need to buy some reference books as well.

what are the tale-tell signs that these are copies/junk? anything?

First the embroidery, compare the shape of the runes to those on known examples also the shape and appearance of the TK's are way off. The rank tabs have several flaws, bad construction and materials, incorrect pips and litzen which is not correctly placed. These are just a few of the signs to look for, I hope this helps get you started looking in the right places.
