zaza Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Comrades, friends and fellow replicans, I'm seeking your expertise once again. Another 1665 case set (midcase and CB) has floated onto the surface. Seller claims it's 100% original. 1978 circa. Will you take a look for me? Pictures attached. Much appreciated.

lionsandtigers Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm going with rep but not because of the actual case but because of the "I'm not a professional seller..." bit in the description. And the hev looks incorrect for a 78 1665. Any other case hawks chiming in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsandtigers Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Papers can be faked. Take a look here. Looks like the same caseback to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valty Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 100% Phong case and case back Case too "new" and fat to be true, Case back is inaccurate. Only one thing to look at : padding of "VE" on the "VALVE" word There is at least 10 others flaws but I'm on my phone (lazy I am) About papers it's easy to buy blank papers... A look at the engraving between the lugs must be interesting too... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
