> tremendous TITANIUM filled counterfeiting rampant in the 80s

Wasn't aware of titanium.
One of the most popular modifications was taking poured 100oz Engelhard bars and drilling/filling with lead.
The bars were so rough it was hard to tell. Engelhard eventually went to extruded bars which were more tamper-proof.
