Hello guys!

I came upon this fork at my local "dealer" he could not tell if its a genuine switch blade and I could not either.

There is a heart shaled pantho at the crown, no tange pantho on dropouts though.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance

I'd ask in this thread https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/169078/?offset=6375 it's for identifying frames and parts.

I had some switchblades in my youth and they just had a little nobble where your heart is.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
