Another fake Case Tested whittler?
Pictures are not very clear. I suspect this is a 70's dotted knife with re-stamped master blade. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-NICE-CASE- ... SwX61ZBlhc. Any comments welcome, agree or disagree.

I'm pretty new at trying to identify fakes but I think I see a couple of things, let me know if I'm off base. To me it looks like the handles are too thick and the pins seem to be a little rough on the ends. Thanks.

Thanks Bruce. I agree the stag doesn't appear to be from Tested era. I hadn't noticed the pins.Berryb wrote:I'm pretty new at trying to identify fakes but I think I see a couple of things, let me know if I'm off base.

In addition to the other concerns already mentioned, the stamp looks pantographed to me.
The seller also has a Remington R1253 Bullet knife listed that looks suspect to me as well.

It wouldn't bring nearly that much money even it was authentic, which it is not.

Yeah that stamp looks pretty bad, as well aas the aforementioned items, thick stag, sloppy shield and price.

I agree, made out of a 70's 6383. Waste of some nice stag.

Re: Another fake Case Tested whittler?
Since this horrible fake didn't sell the last time, the seller has re-listed it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-NICE-CASE- ... SwX61ZBlhc

Re: Another fake Case Tested whittler?
The R1253 has fake stamps and fake blade. Huge patch on the front handle but he says "NICE BONE STAG WITHOUT CHIPS OR CRACKS".
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
