It's listed as original of course.

I think the seller knows it's not original too!  His opening bid amount was just $9.99 with no reserve...

Were these distributors made on batches so there would be a number of them with the same date stamp? And someone in the know (like Jerry) could tell a re-stamp by a bogus date?

This hobby is becoming buisness for to many and seems to be attracting crooks. When will these guys that make bogus parts stop. I suppose as long as someone will buy the parts they will keep stamping them. Thank goodness for sites like this with guys willing to point out real and phony parts.

I have a real problem with restamps, but at least if he said it was a restamp we could just argue if it's ethical rather than if it's real.  ( Which is pretty obvious that it isn't).

I should also mention that some new dates have turned up on the 480 and 467.
