I just purchased this Sagendorph’s Battery to go with my Boyd’s Battery collection. Beware of imitations!

    Right there at the top of the page in bold type " BEWARE OF IMMITATIONS" guess you weren't following that advice ;)

    Apparently Boyd went after the imitators and the case made it all the way to the Supreme Court

    Here’s a link to the entire court transcript in case anybody is interested, it’s many pages long and a real nail biter 😉
