Ah yes Villiers, but what about when you are not in battlefield conditions or in a hasty fraught situation? What about for example, a peacetime factory in 1952, busy FTR'ing many thousand rifles, being out-inspected at each stage by eagle eyed inspectors. The War is over, Korea is just about finished, nothing else on the horizon.
I know people believe what they want to believe but when it comes to faking something up, then there are better and less obvious fakes. That's only my opinion base on my scant knowledge of anything German but a good insight into what we call '.........the bleedin' obvious'
And I can see exactly what Son is saying too. Take the REME badge for example, where the horse looks to the left. Where there is a SET of badges, in the collar for example, then the OPPOSITE one will show the horse facing the right. BUT, like the swastika thinggy, the all important crown wouldn't be defaced.................. Just a thought
