Forgive me if I am missing something here but what is the point in producing a copy marked as the original just for aesthetic reasons the owner would still know it was not "right" and someone further down the line will eventually end up with an "all matching" set up that isn't.
There is so much remarking going on on both repro and genuine items it is becoming very difficult for the ordinary collector to know what they are buying. As far as I am concerened any item that carries "false" markings should also be marked "repro" but that of course will never happen all the time big money can be made especially in the "sniper" field.

Simple.......... Just tell the engraver to mark it mark it 'repro' then!!!!! But it ain't a repro......, it's STILL the real McCoy with a different number. Over to you........

In the words of Muffer regarding another post, "this sort of caper is for those with far too much time on their hands"

Or alternatively, too many telescopes..........

I was browsing Ebay a few days ago, seen a R.E.L No 32 Mk 1 c/w mounts SN 138-C "All Original" it was a Buy Now" deal, had been listed for 2 hours, I bought it, should be here in a week or 3 LOL, will post pic's when I get it, if I do get it, all I need now is a LB Sniper Rifle to put it on, Assuming it's the real McCoy!!

I loaded the pics here - have a gander, confident it's the real thing, comments welcome, LB Sniper offered for sale - more so LOL
