Jon;
Here is this guy's answer to my comment that it was counterfeit:
Hello,
The models presented were put on the market in May 2004. The model
designed and produced by Ugo Fadini was announced in September 2004 and
put on his website in December 2004. He confirms on this site that
there is a competitor who has a copy of this model. Since May comes
before December, I ask myself who copied who?
