Beginning to See Some Fake IDF Autavias

This is the second Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Autavia that I have seen in the past two weeks, that doesn't look right . . . notice the hands, red date disk, and crude "military" marking.

I will try to find the other one . . . probably not a "trend" yet; just someone putting some very unconvincing marks on the back of the cases.
