Yes I do but, if it saves one soul who reads this then it's worth the post.
Collecting is hard enough without this kind of deception and greed.

Original or reproduction?
Thanks for your thoughts.

I hope this gentleman can be refunded. If he would state the "what's wrong" you guys posted on the first forum.
I'm gonna send him a new hacksaw blade so he can do a better job with the type II...

Bob,
Thanks for taking the time to reply, your assessment and help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Guys,
Your thoughts on this item please.
Listing states Low Wood, however the photo is a High Wood. The rear sight looks odd as well.
Anyone have any idea who uses the attached parts...
Good morning,
Does this listing represent the correct markings as described? Thanks for any advise on the SA GAW and cross cannons.

RCS,
I agree with your thoughts on 472 above. It's still fun trying to figure out what is and what should be, that's part of the adventure.
Thanks for your time,
Tom
Thanks for everyone's reply,
According to Canfield's book on page 799; 200,000 to 500,000 should be a short pinion with a spanner and windage knurled with elevation checkered.
500,000 up...
RCS,
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I think the rear sight should be a short pinion and to your point would be quite a value. The authentic rear sight was my biggest concern. Maybe this was...
Good evening all,
Your thoughts please on this early 1942 Garand. Do you think the rifles description and photos represent this offering as being correct for a January 42? Final inspection...
Guys,
Someone did a "buy it now" for $130.00. Hope it was real. I have pick up several slings from What a Country. They have some nice slings when in stock - they do smell old. I was just...
Charlie and Bob,
Thank you both for taking the time to answer. May be a 48 or 43, I really cannot tell. The long ink stamp is somewhat concerning as I have not seen this before. I have seen and...
Is the description and photos correct for a WWII S.M. Co. sling? Does this sling appear to be original or, has the female portion been "touched up"?
Your thoughts please. May be a 1943?

Wow......not that hard for a rebuild I would think. The bidding war was great for this seller.
Double what it may really be worth. Who knows now days.
Tom
Charlie, thanks for the reply
His pictures are poor and I did ask for more photo of the areas you listed and have gotten no reply. I think, according to Riesch, it is a post war rebuild. However,...
Good evening everyone,
Does the description and the photos accurately represent this QHMC Low Wood stock?
Especially the reference to the "U" marking on the left hand side of the stock. Is the...
Be careful........this one's up for sell on the web.
Rick,
Thank you for the reply, You're correct on the "m" as it's a dead giveaway and the cross canon is not worth mentioning.
Not even good fake.
Thanks for taking your time to look,
Tom
Late 1942 S.A. Production date with what looks like an EMcF stamp over another EMcF stamp, look closely. Do you guys think any of these stamps are real of just faked?
Cross cannon?
Small cross...
Bob,
Thank you for the reply, Saginaw's are interesting but somewhat difficult for me to determine "what happened when". I thought the stock was incorrect for an S.G. not to mention the repair....
Is this the correct stock for the serial number Saginaw S.G. that is shown? Or, is this a Saginaw S.G. in a what appears to be a Saginaw S'G' stock? Does it matter?
The sling well is marked...
Gentlemen,
I located in War Baby page 310 that the Type I sear, part number 6200978 was replaced by the Type II part number 5653483. If I am interpreting what stated the Type II was identified by...
