I agree, those links don't address this specific issue. I was just trying to show the type 2 is real and can be authentic. I pulled these first two images from google and the third is mine put mostly together with red still showing to tell where it came apart, but in the google images you can see multiple layers of metal which match up to mine, implying (to me, anyway) that they are constructed in the same manner.


I'm as flabberghasted as everyone else seems to be that it's constructed this way, that's why I brought it up.
