Shirogorov Hati Gen 3 - Authenticy Question

[eburrs]

Hi - I’m new to this forum and had a question about a recent purchase.
Today in the mail I received a Hati Gen 3 that I purchased from Recon 1.
Beautiful knife, I love it.
The issue I have is with the authenticity card. It labels the knife a Hati Gen 5, the box is labeled correctly.
I typically do not sell knives from my collection, never have. However, with my collection growing and my preference moving to more collectible expensive knives, selling/trading one in the future does not seem out of the question. This is not my first Shiro. I also have a Neon NL, authenticity card was correct.
I plan on contacting Recon 1 to see what they have to say.
Does anyone think this is a big deal? For the money I spent I think I should have received the correct card.
Anticipated thanks for any advice anyone could send my way.

It's only a big deal if you should ever decide to sell it, as many buyers want the original box and any associated paperwork, LOA, etc.

No harm in contacting the dealer, as you indicated you will.

Thank you Shane. I’ll contact Recon 1 tomorrow and post their response.

They are a reputable dealer. Sounds like an easy to repair mistake was made when the knife was boxed up at the factory. I'm sure they will fix you up.

Thanks for your help. I just got off the phone with Recon 1. They had me send a picture of the incorrect card and are sending out a new one.
I guess I didn’t realize they fill in the cards themselves.
