Official Fakes/Possible Fakes Inquiry Thread (ARE THESE FAKE? POST FAKES HERE)

[Rotten Ronnie]

The early rep samples and production pairs of the Pit Boss did not have the ‘A’ on the arms. That is not necessarily the best way to tell a fake.

May not be %100 but it is one factor, of a few, to access when you can't get your hands on the item before purchase. Sure there may a few w/o the "A" but I won't gamble on them unless I can hold them first or they are from a trusted member that knows the history on them.

The lenses from genuine and fake pairs are also not interchangeable, so this is another way to check authenticity if you have them in hand....

Bro, this deal is an easy walk away.

First: Never pay retail.
Second: Never gamble at that kind a price.
Thirdly: Be patient and do your homework.

Walk away from this one and ask for a solid member to hook you up.

I bought a mint full set PB1 of 3 bad pictures at half that price.
With the help of a Member I reduced my risk and took a chance.
My Gamble paid off.

That’s what I did. Theres too much risk associated with it. If it was like Ronnie was saying where I can hold them an go through my own verification processes yea maybe.

Have patience and wait for a nice one when it pops up here on the OF.
I think there are some nice customs here for sale currently offered by a trusted Brother.... @Atticus ?
Also consider a "Buying" post as well with whatever model(s) you are looking for ...

Glad you walked away. As @mjt42 stated, the shape of the plate is wrong wrong wrong...I would have chimed in earlier but I didn't see this until @Rotten Ronnie tagged me. (thanks)
I usually try to help with Pit Boss questions as I own a few.
Are you looking for a specific colorway? I am moving a couple of PB1s as I have been bitten with the X Metal bug again. lol
