"Porsche" script wrench question

[Peter Bartelli]

I was already to post some pics but Jim beat me to it. Whew! Thinner is the key to it then.
I recently saw a few repros posted on eBay out of Europe, both script and 450 wrenches. These are cast not forged and the plating is bright nickle...and NOT magnetic, unlike Brockers. Caveat Empor

[Jack Arct]

Robert's reproduction wrenches are "magnetic". They are not made of brass, but are steel.
Notice the subtle differences. Yes, the repro is obviously in better shape but the other differences are pretty minor. As Pete said, the repro wrench is 6mm thick at the big end and the real one is 7mm. That should be the most obvious determining factor.

Jim,
Thank you ! I'm glad we found a telltale sign. My dad's wrench is 7mm and magnetic ! lol

Thank you all for solving our little mystery
