This example shared many traits with a well known European forger. I wouldnt touch it personally.

I had a sneaky suspicion it might be

also curious about that Hotel Tropicana paper and what it is and the story behind this. Every Elvis has a story

Yeah, this guy was damn good- at first they look really accurate and its very easy to be taken in, but his biggest fault was his consistency! 

Whenever you stumble upon an Elvis with his oval shaped  'army number stamp' on it... think twice.

it is a good forgery but there are several red flags and one in particular that clinched it

I won't say what it is in public because the forger's already have enough ammo to battle against. 

appreciate your inputs TQ
