Firstly Kurt - why don't you say something constructive along the lines of why you don't like something?
Second - thanks to the people who pm'd me voicing their doubts and giving me an opportunity to deal with any issues before being taken out and hung, drawn and quartered by this forum's resident lynch mob.
Third - let's try and learn something here - me and other collectors who may not have the massive experience that others have in manufactured fakes.
I had always thought that Delta's were not made of doeskin - the one featured is definitely doeskin (i know what that is) and also that the delta characteristic was the white threads on the very edge of the reverse.
I've attached pictures which show this tab next to a confirmed delta fake and have taken a better (well slightly) picture of the obverse to try and show the material in a better light.
I've also pulled this from the e-stand - the right decision if it is still bad and the right decision if it is actually good - I don't need the grief for £150.
All constructive and educational responses appreciated.
Tom

All - thanks for your constructive comments - and it goes to show you can always learn - I did not know that Delta used the doeskin material - it's a new one on me.
Sal - my prickly reaction was down to a response on a different thread not this one (which we can let go). As someone who doesn't post that often but checks into the Tony Barto most days - I like the pm approach that some opted for.
best to all
Tom

Both are delta fakes IMHO and the one in question probably has old stitch lies removed and a new line atypical of delta fakes added. It does look fresh compared to the "fake wear"
I am sorry
