I keep them in my Yankee box as is.
What blows me away is why would anyone want to counterfeit 60s-70s at all?

Danny, Despite the SCG notes, those m101-5s are almost certainly not counterfeit but are instead Fritsch reprints that were sliced off at the bottom where the word reprint would have been seen. It seems beyond stupid (although possible) that one choosing to counterfeit would pick a reprint rather than the real deal as a model to copy.
