The other stuff he's got for sale looks real. I'm not an expert on flip sights, but even though it's from CA, my guess is that it's the real deal. - Bob

This IBM sight is a tough call. Some long-time collectors
disagree on this one. Based on pictures alone - I would
say there is more right with it than wrong. Just looking
at the pictures I would say it is original. Purchasing it is
another thing. I would want to see it up close. I'll pass
on this one. Respectfully

I can't explain why but something just did not look right about it. I wanted it for my recent IBM purchase.............................Oh well............Hopefully I will find another one.

Well, I went ahead and bit the bullet and bought it...for better or worse. I could have gotten one for only $135 at Riverbank..lol

And to think LE you could have gotten a brand spanking new one straight from China for only $135. At least you know the one you did get is real and not an import.
