This is interesting, but unfortunately, it is a fake when compared to accepted originals. John

From Norm:

Yes, a fake. The photos are poor but even so, on the attached images comparing to an original, you can see weak detail, smoothed external outlines, casting seams, incorrect L/18 mark and incorrect hardware.

I also agree, a fake. Thanks for posting.
