I saw that in the views too. I think we are seeing the tail before and after it was sectioned; a careful look will show (when intact) both sides with differences.

I didn't reply to prove anyone wrong (in fact, Mike's a friend), just to offer my own opinion. I offered that it's "probably OK" - my opinion - nothing more, nothing less. Given only these these photos (forget dealer tall tails), I am sill open-minded. Actually, I could care less if it's real or not. No problem.

It's said, one should buy the item, not the story; opinions are free and usually worth as much.
