Hi Kevin, going by the webbing, this is a Czech made fake.

Hi Ade
Nice to see you again.Thanks a lot for letting me know it's fake
Does it worth more than the well made modern repro. one?thanks again.

Hi Kevin, please just don't take my word alone.

Sometimes they lack the stiffening material in between the webbing.

I have one original in my collection.

These items are well faked and have been for a few years now. Sometimes the hardware is actually original but taken from scrap tornister packs etc. You can see a fake ( sold as such) here

Even a fake costs £60 or about $100.

Cheers, Ade.

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Kevin, I don't like the bag either sorry.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi JPhilip
Thanks for your confirmation.I think there are still too many things to learn for me in this area.But I am glad I can meet you guys here to help me grow up.

BTW Do you know are they aged ones or modern fake?

Hi,

sorry if I "conquer" this thread, but why open a new one when this one is already dealing with A-frames.

I am interested in your oppinion on this A-frame. Personally I think it is a repro. I was fooled by the used look and the maker marked hardware, but now I see the web material is different from other eamples I've seen, the sewing is not done very thoroughly. And the stamped maker mark does not seem to belong to this kind of equipment.

What do you think?
