 Garga mini zag help! I got this with another mini zag from YJA. It is sealed/stapled with header---at face value, it was legit. But somehow, I have reservations on this dude and suspect it is a custom on a blue blank...can anyone confirm? Thanks!

Re: Garga mini zag help! I think Locomoco is the expert.
But as far as I know I've never seen that zag before.

Re: Garga mini zag help! Sorry, but definitely not a production Zag...
The eye and teeth are the sure signs... clear brush strokes - not sprayed using masks.
Someone just did a custom job on one of the blue blanks as you thought.
Do you have a link to the auction? I'd like to see if they listed it as a custom job...

Re: Garga mini zag help! Eyes and teeth are a dead give-away. Was there no pic posted for the auction?
