[QUOTE="TK-7785, post: 491556, member: 8868"] Did your American contact give any explanation for the reasons he felt the baggie was fake; unusual heat seal, different plastic...? Again, I'd be wary of writing something off if only because it's a thus far undiscovered combination. True. Where would someone also find a huge stack of minty boxes and Empire catalogues. That's not an impossible scenario for sure, just look at the Toni fiasco with regard to accumulating original component parts. If I remember rightly the give away with his creations was the seal of the bubble, ie home made and not resembling the factory equivalent. So I'd expect any damning proof with these to centre around the box tape and/or baggie seal. I think you're right to keep a tag of suspicion on this one for now. For me, given what relatively little it owes me I'm going to hang onto mine and see if more light is shed on these in the future. If I'd have bought this as an unsealed item and had been able to look at the contents I would have probably passed it by. Chris [/QUOTE]
