: : What kind of Sust?
: : Is it Russian made in Calcutta?
: : If so, the fake ones have rounded corners on the label on the amps. The real ones have square corners
:
: It's Russian made in Calcutta by (INFAR).
: Square corners on label
: White label
: Blue print
: Looks exactly like photo in WAR
: Lot #252209
: Dates: Oct 95', Sep 99
: The dates seem odd. I though the month should be Oct-Oct. Not Oct-Sept.
: Can or should the label be able to be pulled off in one piece?
: Should it taste or smell like something?
: Smells likw heavy oil (not cooking oil of any sort)
: Has a sort of bitter and chemically taste to it (not like amonia or bleach or stuff like that)
: Thanks guys!
Chances are that they are legit. I've never seen any fakes. I heard the fakes have rounded corners. The amps
I have seen often have crooked labels, and peel of easily, but usually not in one piece.
