Am contemplating these. The one on the left looks a little off to me. It is parked with 3 weld scars. The screw head is unusual to me. But then, I don't have much expertise with these. Any opinions?
Thanks very much

I'd say the one on the right is authentic because the screw head appears correct.Again, from Larson's book.

One can not determine if a band is correct because of a removable screw. to add to that, many swivels and screws have been lost over time. Sometimes people buy a reproduction for the screw and swivel and put it on an original band. I am in no way saying that this is or is not the case with these bands. I would warn caution to anyone referencing Larson or using it to determine is a part is original. In 2011 the club published a review by Brian Quick about the Larson book. Please read in full and understand what is being said. Edited by Lupus Dei - Sep 09 2018 at 3:30pm |
