Post by: dannystarr on February 07, 2013, 07:30:40 AM: This tag has a weird rivet. Does it look right? ....... Danny

Plus it has some kind of goop on it and glaring which makes it even harder to tell. Hopefully Kurt, Ed, Mark, JohnZ and a few others can take a look and chime in. Thanx guys so far..... Danny

I'm sure Kurt is right but I see a couple of anomalies that made me think it might be fake but not having another to compare it with always makes it a little more confusing.
