[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 441591, member: 4012"] There are two oddities in the LCD display, that don't correspond with what I've seen in person and online: 1. The battery icon is in an unusual location at top left. It's normally at bottom centre; and 2. The moving target ID 'pointer' at the top of the screen appears to be in three segments rather than a single, solid block. These two anomalies may just be ongoing manufacturer detail changes (like the logo at the top, which used to just say 'Fisher', not Fisher Research Labs), but they're the sort of detail that fakes typically fail on. I suggest you follow Maldon Gold Centre's advice and call him to check on the serial number (there should be a sticker showing this in the battery compartment).
