    These are for sale on an auction site and due to close in 6 hours with a top bid of $3850NZD.
    I am not an expert on pamp but the serial numbers on the bars look very crude for a high end product.
    Thoughts ?

    I think that's standard looking serial numbers from memory.

    It is New Zealand and the seller has good feedback.
    I was just curious as the serial on the bars look like they have been put on very sloppily and rough.

    Best, if not too sure , don't touch them
    Very hard to tell with only a couple of photos, not highly resolute

    Depends On Who Is Asking.
    I would say they are "real" but it is not my money.

    So as the old adage goes - buyer beware.

    Just my thoughts.

    PAMP serials are laser etched onto the bar. They don't always look entirely smooth.
