Side-by-Side: tale of two shaman

Hey guys, Hoping we could do a little group sleuthing. These are two Shaman that I have, with some noticeable differences between the two.

Re: Shaman z-wear authentication

That’s fantastic to know, and I really appreciate your reply. I found it from a private seller and as a semi/non- expert wasn’t sure about some things (like all parts of the G in Sal’s initials not fully connecting/ touching each other) but I’ve also seen that occasionally when I zoom in. Also I kno...
