This is my first new topic, so I hope I get it right with the photos..
Anyway, a friend of mine just came across this knife. I told him that I would post some photos here to get some "expert" opinions on it. I believe that it could be an original bullet.
Please let me know what you guys think.
Thanks,
t

I've examined the photos carefully, and everything looks correct and authentic to me. ::tu:: Theres some pretty decent counterfeits on the market right now that one has to be very careful with, but I'm satisfied yours is no counterfeit. I don't see an etch and theres a little scattered pitting but the blades are full, the jigging is strong and I don't see any cracks in the scales. Thats a quite valuable knife you have there. If its going to be for sale, send me a PM. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thank you for the fast reply..
Is there any tail tell signs, or pointers that you give me for spotting a fake? I will be happy to look this one over with a fine tooth comb for you.
