Are they just out of the box, or a brand new custom repaint? Many of our groups painters are very proud of their work and sign them

Honestly I have no idea they were out of the box when I found them I would assume the 05 is the year and i'm not sure what the name is or who it is? Was wondering if maybe someone here knew

Are they definitely believers? The hanger looks wrong, and they wouldn't have come with double hooks.

Hook hangers look right to me. Stock Believers don't come with those hooks though. Does it have rattles?

maybe the lure have been painted in 2005 but he have not been constructed at 2005. judging by the flat hook hangers your believer is a t least 15 years old,he must be without rattle right?
i don't remember exactly when they have start to use the round hook hangers,it was a long time ago
keep them they were the best one.
