tommygg101 fake Tested trapper

[btrwtr]

Here we go again. Started at just $1.99 like he does all his counterfeit knives.

The unlucky buyer will have 30 days to figure out they have purchased a counterfeit knife.

His loyal followers are lining up so they "dont"t loose out". Any guesses as to how high this beauty will go? Currently $380. I have noticed that most of his fake knives will sell at about 1/3 of what a real knife of the same type and condition will sell. That's where the true bargain comes in.

Both blades with a Tested stamp? I've never seen this on a Tested trapper. Center rivet is peened not spun. 1960's style shield. Fat and new stag handles (see pic of back handle at rear bolster).

If authentic how much would this trapper fetch, Wayne?

He is slipping a bit on his listings. Those pics are way to clear for a tommygg101 listing. Somebody is liable to figure him out!

I'd say a good rule of thumb for Tested era and Case/XX era knives is, "The fatter the stag, the faker the knife"

Where is Myrtlefaye when you need him. The sad part is the people who are bidding on this knife. ebay should have a counterfeit watch where if 10 people clicked that the knife was counterfeit the buyers could be notified to take a closer look.

There are others here better equipped to answer this but the knife would easily bring 4 figures from serious and knowledgeable collectors.

Hey guys ole fleas here...i talked to a person at ebay that is in their counterfit dept or i guess their dept. that takes in and investigates bogus items....he said that if enough people hit thr report a item button....that they will pull that seller from ebay completely....but it will take alot of hits...i talked to him about aapk and how u guys can tell all about the little signs that tell u guys it is fake...he said they have experts in all types of items.....with that being said everybody needs to hit the report a item or whatever it is to alert ebay to bogus sellers...so every body get onboard and start with tommgrl...and do ur part to maybe help alleviate the bogus sellers out there....so let's go guys...,fleas out
