<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3088873, member: 84179&quot;]I can&#039;t say for certain but here are the reasons I believe it&#039;s not an authentic clip.</p><p><br /></p><p>* Blakesley effect - I see what may be some minor weakness on the opposite edge but looking at the reverse pic, the rim appears to be flattened and slightly out of round.&nbsp; Almost like something was squeezing it.</p><p>* Minor rim dings in the Blakesley area also look like they could be the result of something clamping or gripping it and not normal circulation marks. Particularly the reverse</p><p>* Appears to be some displaced metal sticking up along the edge of the clip.&nbsp; Wouldn&#039;t any displaced metal left over from the clip be flattened during the strike? </p><p>* The damage under the A on the reverse is definitely Post Strike and looks like it could be caused by a grinder.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think any of these points by themselves would be conclusive but adding them all together makes me very hesitant about buying this based on the posted pics.&nbsp;&nbsp; Short of pics of the clipped edge, however, it&#039;s still speculation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
