Nice! Was this one of the ones sold by allileggie99 recently? Upthread I mentioned buying one of these from that seller. Price good enough to suggest possible nonauthenticity, but mine hasn't arrived yet for checking.
No. I purchased mine from a U.S. seller. I did see yours and I did not see anything that lead me to think it was fake other than the price. Maybe the seller just has a hoard he/she needs to cash in on. Would like to get a better look at the denticles and edge. Hope it turns out to be the real deal.
