moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 11/16/2015 3:38 pm Most definitely a fake. Wear patterns are completely wrong, strike is even from center to peripheries, denticles are not even close to those found on real specimens. Report this Post to the Staff
tomtom777 Valued Member United States 243 Posts	Posted 11/16/2015 3:48 pm I'm leaning on it being fake too. The wear pattern is odd and other details seem off. Report this Post to the Staff
