Not got the warm and fuzzies on this one but would appreciate your thoughts.

Not original

Nice try
But

An obvious reproduction, (cast right off an original). Should have discs beneath the prongs. Also, lacks the typical Deschler shape of the beak on the back side. Furthermore, the markings are horrible, as are many other details, (to my eyes). Materials are the wrong color, etc., etc.

Lastly, I am a bit surprised that everyone didn't call original on this one, as it is a better fake than some of the fakes that have been deemed original here recently by the majority of the participating members. I don't mean to sound like an a$#h@/&, but it's good to see that others here can still spot a high quality fake like this one. However, I can't help but wonder what the consensus would have been, if the prongs had been made perfect with correct discs on this one, (which absolutely could have been done). Just something to think about, IMO, as the fakers could easily get a tad better than this, and we will most likely see the results in the near future. Anyway, keep up the good work guys!
