<p>[QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 2975862, member: 7638"]I think it's probably genuine, but has been heavily dipped affecting the luster and leaving some black gunk around some devices. The weak BER is explained by die polishing (per the Briggs book), otherwise the devices appear very sharply struck and the usual tip offs to a transfer die forgery aren't apparent to me. If it's fake it's extremely well made, and far better than about any of the Chinese fakes usually seen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
