Fake MG magazins on german ebay

[FS154]

A seller from Remscheid in Germany is offering fake MG 34/ 42 magazins. They are all newly painted and don´t look like real german ones. Maybe from Yugoslawie?

I saw those. For sure former Yugo. At least one has a fake stamp but perhaps some other could be original German. I haven't taken a close look, so can't confirm. Anyhow, paintwork is not original.

Yes they have been repainted but I wouldn't say they are fake.
Pretty sure they come from the former yugo army. Can't tell if they have fake markings, but from what I know you can find original germans magazines and postwar ones made with german machinery (nearly identical to the WW2s but unmarked). Sometime it's even possible to find original german finish under the postwar paint.
In this case I think that completely stripped magazines have been repainted in "german style" for collectors or renactors.

Hi

Please do not only post the links but also the pictures, otherwise this thread will be worthless in time.....

As for the originality: these are legit german drum’s, but they are repainted for sure ( and badly artificially aged)

As far as i see made to deceive people.....

The description is very fague, he doesn’t claim the paint to be original but says that it is painted in typical wehrmacht paint to 95%.... but he doesn’t say WHEN they are painted .....

Like i said , deceptive
