There must be a load of these heavy stamped fakes out there! It has large flat links, its non-magnetic, and heavy. The edge of the links have the lest plating and will show a slight copper tinge at the right angle.
My son bought one for $10, knowing it was fake. I couldn't resist testing it just to satisfy my TH'ing side. It was indeed a fake. The son had good instincs.
He just got it cause it looked cool and its no big deal if he lost it.
Well you have invested $10 in the bank of knowledge, returns on that are extremely high, like a thousand percent! You get your payout soon!
Maybe we should post a picture, make it easier for people to spot one.
