I had some doubts about it, he did too.
Who can tell if it is an original?
Thank you.

ric, im in denial.looks good to me, definition, patina, stamp, so why is is NOT ORIGINAL?

[willysproject]

Because it was made after 1945...

so why is is NOT ORIGINAL?

Phil..it's a known style of reproduction..all things being equal, without looking at anything else that would signify this as a repro, the second i saw the way they stamped the SS runes , that was enough..

that explains it clearly then i suppose if any item has been made once it can be made again, certainly looked close enough to me.
