SD Rebreather on Ebay - Is it fake or real?

There appears to be an SD Studios Re-breather on Ebay at the moment on the below item number....140463666985

"007 JAMES BOND THUNDERBALL BREATHING DEVICE PROP #177" based in Florida. Advertised as 100% genuine.

However it feels a bit strange as the cigar case looks brand new and does not have an adhesive sticker on it like mine does that quotes both Danjaq and SD studios. Also just spotted it's issue number #177 but the one on Markus's excellent website Bondtoys is also number #177. Someone appears to be telling porkies and I know it's not Markus. Can any other expert have a look to see what they think. Is it fake or real?

    Looking at this, my gut says genuine. BUT Pete, Jeff & Ed will be able to give the definative answer.

    Now that's interesting, but breather itself looks genuine to me ;)

    Well if both have the same number, maybe one is 1st generation, the one on the bay is certainly a correct 2nd gen :)

    Not all breathers had the fake tube with the sticker, infact neither of mine have it, but I did at one point own one, this is another brand of cigar that has been rubbed down and the romeo sticker placed over the top, this includes the Danjaq licence BUT do you think SD had a licence to reproduce the cigar tube artwork ? :D

    Well, it could have fetched more than that, it just doubled it's original price. ;)
