Gary,

It's just another piece in the jigsaw really although obviously if the serial number and shipping date etc are recorded in official paperwork it does authenticate the weapon. Keep in mind here we are talking about an item which when sold with its CES changes hands for £4000 plus pound here in the UKicon.

Cheers,
Simon.
