Another Coastal Artillery, opinions please

[David H]

Well, after the last Coastal Artillery I posted , turned out to be OK ish, when I thought it was fake, I thought I'd better get some opinions on this one, again I've been offered it and to me it looks rough as old boots.... with rubbish detail...
RO is that a regular maker or does it stand for ReprO???

Opinions please.

Hello David,

Sorry, but it is a horrible cast fake.

Best regards,
Tom

Really bad fake, I agree!

It's somehow refreshing to see these horrible obvious "honest" fakes, rather than the devious subtle high quality ones.

Definitely a crude casting of a crimped S&L Coastal Artillery.

Best regards,

Thank heavens for that, I couldn't believe how bad it was, when I looked at the pictures..

I agree, ugly fake
Cheers,

I agree, it would be nice if all fakes were this easy to spot. But its a double-edge sword, because the hobby wouldn't be as much fun and interesting I should think.
