<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1441936, member: 66"]One look at this piece and I've got alarms going off that say fake. The surfaces are completely wrong. Yes these typically show roller striations, and they also tend to come with file marks as well, but they also normally have hard smooth surfaces not uneven grainy porous ones like this one has. The strike is also usually very good as well. This one with the strong but not full center and extremely weak periphery just doesn't feel right. Then throw in the underweight and I say it's no good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
