e/63 stamps on takedown tool

Mike, I can't answer your question but I have been following your search. The E63 on the Simpson site did not look at all like the one I have here. Like it was punched really deeply. I didn't like it....
The one I have is a stick wing eagle and the 63 is a good size..not overly large but it is as wide as the eagle.
The eagle is slightly faint but the sticks in the wings are fine lines, very distinct and seperate.
One way to determine authenticity is to measure thickness. Most fakes are over one tenth of an inch. 1.15-1.20 Originals measure .98-.95 or less.
Not a 100% test but always a good place to start.
