Hi guys,
Opinions on these three would be of great help.
I have my own opinions, but would like them confirmed.

1 and 3 look good can you send some side shots of the hinge on 2

these are all the pics I have.
maker mark on number 3 seems to be 'SLA' (says the seller)
any more opinions?

1 and 2 look fine to me. The 3rd has veins in the oakleaves which is present on some fakes although the back looks quite good. If the maker mark really says SLA then I would leave well alone.

Maker mark on the third one should be L15. Opinions are split on these.

First cross with that irregular reverse and fat swords is a 15. Seems to be ok.

Middle (second) cross seesm to be ok as well.

thanks guys, that's kinda confirmed my suspicions.
I thought that the third one was a definate no no, but Frank, you say opinions are split? If it really is marked SLA then we should suppose that all these are bad...
hey, I just thought, maybe SLA IS L15 upside-down...

I'm in the group that believes that the third one is good.

I'm making the leap, and buying them all. I'll post better pics etc when they arrive.
Thanks to all

That is what I wanted to say, it cannot possibly be SLA, it is definitely L15.
I am also in the group who thinks these are ok.
