funnily enough i used to own that one,they are a slightly different shape if you put them side by side and those particular reissues use a diff colour combo sticker and diff grip. also the finish is more of a satin look ,the later reissues from a yr or so back are the same shape as originals but again use a diff sticker as they have the small R (registered design) logo on them and the grip is cut differently around the sticker,they also have a smooth satin type finish as well. its strange because some of the prices folk pay for the reissues they could nearly buy the genuine thing for not much more :roll:
