Festae. Ecuador vs Peru

[John Rambo]

John there are a lot of grey areas and confusion within the hobby regarding Festae ATM. I suggest you search Rio Tumbes within this site and draw your own conclusions. I have owned both and must say that I am not a fan of the Tumbes variant. Jury is till out on their authenticity.

Thanks for the input

Dude, that was a serious question. There is no point in being a jerk about it.
Here are a couple of links I found. I hope they are more helpful than the above post!

Good luck with your search for knowledge

Thanks for the links. After reading through them I'm also not too sure what to conclude. I've kept festae that I thought were from Ecuador. I may try a hand at the other
