<p>[QUOTE="sunday silence, post: 3665725, member: 6808"]there's also a concern because the mark itself is not even made correctly for a so called apocryphal mark. The character in the lower left: that looks like a menorah with 5 candles. An apocryphal mark is supposed to have only 3 prongs there not 5. The actual historical marks did have 5, and using 3 prongs is a way of saying we are not trying to fake an old mark, just paying homage to it. I will try to post a link.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
