Not a fan of your personal education efforts. Whoa! That's pretty rude. The guy is asking for help with something he doesn't understand. He doesn't know it's an "obvious counterfeit," so how would he research it? That's the whole point of his question. If I don't know about something, I ask someone who does. That's one of the nice things about this website--you can ask people in the know and get an immediate response. It's not very becoming to put people down who don't know as much as you do.

Jjpe Valued Member United States 145 Posts	Posted 06/30/2026 2:59 pm I take no offense people I did research it maybe not as much as you would like me to but enough to know that I'd be asking you people for a more permanent answer I went by the weight which was wrong and all of them I know there's other ways to tell too but to me the weight set it off thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
