CGG - Soft Cases?

[followtheleader]

Sorry if this has been asked before.

 

Did CGG originally produce only soft cases (no hard exterior)?

 

I thought I read this once but can't find a reference on the web anymore. Anyone know a date related to that? Probably the inception of the company.

Yes they originally didn't have the hard outer shell.

Have there been any fakes discovered? It looks like it would be easy for someone to do.

 

The one I received has a much smaller label and the CGG logo is different than the hard case version (no world behind it, just the letters).

 

Does this jive? And does the CGG identification number provide any info on the material type used (company name, soft vs.hard case, etc)?

 

Thanks

Pat

Call up, or email PGX and ask them, I never owned any of their early versions.

Does anyone else on the boards have an early CGG book matching this description? Or even know, on the web, where I can find the history of CGG, PGA, PGX?

I don't think it would be easy to fake. Since I own a few of the original "soft" cases, I can verify that even though I didn't like their flexibility, they were heat-sealed on all four sides. When I split them open to resub to CGC, they didn't easily separate down the seam and required X-acto surgery.
