Hi Rick,i still think it's an R.S based fake,due to pitting on reverse,the hinge & soft detail especially to the rifle. Stewy

Hi Rick,

I am with Stewy on this one. Something not right about the metal and details look soft all around -- edges, rifle, eagle, etc. Does any one have an example of an original RS (unmarked?) that they can post to compare?

Regards,
Eric

Whilst it is not easy to tell from the picture - the IAB does not look like it is Zinc (which I believe it is purporting to be), the pitting on the rear scares me big time.

The first thing i noticed was the hinge. It's very wrong. Stewy

Hi Rick

Can you post close up pics of the head and the hinge area. Nice to see the base of the hinge if possible.

cheers
