Do you have any comments on this bandoleer? Original or is it a modern reproduction.

Hi!

That******180;s one of the best fakes at present. You******180;ll find them with other snaps as well (repro PRYM). Saw some of them on "junk seller" sides and eBay Germany for sale.

Thank you for the reply. To bad that it is fake

Yes, very nicely made fake. Fake aging and bogus markings. Markings are always tough to fake properly. One reason why many do not want us to share markings of originals.....from smocks to covers to field gear items.

Tough to keep one step ahead of the fakers. It still comes down in knowing what originals look like and not being afraid to have strong opinions when something doesn't look right. The whole "what if", "maybe it is an other variation", "it could be field made" mentality causes more harm than good in the hobby. Stick to textbook originals and you will have a fine collection when the dust settles. Just my 2.5 cents on the matter.
