First and most obvious is the quality of the stag handles. Looks nothing like tested stag, those handles have been hafted from the toptested stag was sanded from the bottom to fit. The stamps are not uniform and you don't see every blade marked from the tested era like that. The shield is a USA shield.

Fake...most likely made out of a Queen. Case never made that pattern. Stag does not look like Tested stag.
