Fake Oberndorf Waffenamt Stamps......

Here's another one that should help people understand why they need to be really cautious and do a lot of research on provenance of expensive items before they buy. ;)

I understand that Numrich sells the same stamps ........ :yikes:

Feedback and comments anyone?

Hi all,

Yep, Numrich is selling them as "hand stamps"....

Here is the link: German Arsenal Hand Stamps*|*e-GunParts.com

The stamps are rather well made but are mising some "parts", to be more precise the Waa stamp is missing its Swastika. So if you take an better look you can identify an fake stamp.
But you will have to be carefull in the future buying an real and complete K98/K43/G43 .....

Remember when a large Cdn. importer was offering all sorts of non-German made small arms with WaA marks? M44 MNs, etc. From the Balkans. Always wondered when the stamps had been applied.
