(1/8) > >>

dwain dibbly:
just got this NOS gold pro neck stem. its in such good condition it got me thinking, could it be
a modern FAKE?  :'( I've seen a thread on museum about how to spot one and following the information it
does look the real deal, but it just looks TOO GOOD!!

opinions please  :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

Snav:
A guy in the states re did some a couple of years back in all the variations they did  :daumenhoch:

Inverted, Round and Square edge ones  :police:

Gnarlyscoots:
The original Pro Neck lettering was stamped into the cap, this look laser etched.

The stem bolt only had the 3 lines on the top too, not the triangle, if I remember correctly bro  :-\

yeah from what i can gather, the fakes that were made had more metal from the bolt hole to the edge of the stem

the ones on the left are fake the ones on the right are the real deal you can see the difference :)

Looks repop / fake or whatever you want to call it.  The triangle on the stem bolt and the markings on the cap bolts indicated the metal they're manufactured from - i'm sure that wasn't ever present BITD  :-\
