I’m interested in picking one up, but I’m cautious buying second hand because of all the faupnirs that we’re in circulation a few years ago.

Any knowledge would be appreciated

There are quite a lot of them. I suggest finding a reputable seller if buying used.

Yeah there were a lot of them. You would need really detailed pictures of the engravings or, even better, you should make sure to buy from someone reputable as Jordan said. And as always - If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is.

There was one on ebay a few months ago that sold for 40 dollars.
