wow, I didnt think anyone would do one... Legend said he might but never did. I reckon in India they can make anything by hand so why not one of these. As for quality, who knows...

Not cheap but if it's any good...
Doesn't look "quite" right in certain places but would be interesting to see one up close

Yeah, Nahhh, wouldn't touch it with a 6 food barge poll.

Looks very much like an original thats been through the mill and around the block. I just finished taking one back to Bare Metal. You can see the regular rust area on the underside of the ebay example. The place where they all rust through eventualy.
And 500 smakers tell em their dreamin.
Just my opinion.
