which Rake is made with Govt steel and which one is EN?

Postby AshokaTano » 10 Dec 2013 15:08

I just got myself the Peterson Pheonix Ultimate Pick set and it finally arrived, I also bought myself a bunch of cheap EN picks for $2.75 each, now for the most part the color handles make it easy to tell apart most of my picks Govt steel from the EN

but one of thee rakes came in my case(presumably the govt steel one) and the other in a separate zip lock, now each most of the DCaps in the case where different pick handle colors presumably because they where made at different times or something. however The EN looks so similar to one of the Govt steel picks quite frankly i think they mixed them up, here is a couple pics have a look which one do you think is the 'Real' DCAP double Rake.

either way im super excited! ill post picks of the new set after i hear what you guys have to say on the picks, i don't want to post the picks i have of the set at the moment and bias your answers(as you'll clearly be able to see which rake goes where)

Did i get lucky and get 2 Govt steel Rakes? i know they where out of the DCAP diamon EN picks when i ordered them so they are sending me a Govt steel one at the moment that has yet to arrive.

also the shape of the second pick from bottom(we'll refer to that as rake2) actually is identical to a normal Peterson double rake?
