Fake?

[Christian F.]

Anyone know if this is a replica or the real thing? The Blue Book isn't real clear on how to tell.

These are originals. The difference is pretty obvious between the recasts and the originals. I am afraid yours are reproductions. :-(

Thanks for the reply. I was given these for free from a guy I bought a bunch of CI from. He was pretty sure it was fake. Now I know how to tell. Win-Win!
