    Real Or Fake?

    Ive attached comparison pictures of two batches of Normas I received from a spplr. The ones that expire in 2010 are the new ones. The ones that expire in 2009 are the old batch. I've read that the caps on the newer ones show that they're fake. The picture of just the metal top caps has the newer batch on the right. I'll post more pics later. The guys at BOS say they're the real new ones. Are the new ones real? Thanks.

    trust me

    trust me BOS has more big time sources as members than any other site, if they can't work out which one is real I doubt anyone else can either.

    That's the rub.....everyone over there says they're real. Sources have pm'd me saying the new batches have those tops. They are exactly the same except for the cap. Hopefully, Norma will reply to my email.
