    I have looked at a lot of "T" rifles and have never seen one marked like this. Someone went to a lot of work to make a fake. I don't get the obvious mistakes. I would like to have his stamp sets.

    Hey, thanks everyone for your input. Turned out to be an excellent thread.

    Kicking myself for not noticing that it was a Faz s/n. Doh!

    I guess the buyer must be a dealer - 880 feedback on GB and 65 items currently on sale. Wonder if he realises. Wonder how he will describe it when selling it on.

    Anyone know Vito?

    ...

    I think what may have happened is someone with a correct (T) figured out that with a matching scope = More $$, and figured the way to do it was by stamping the rifle, not knowing how the real ones were done. My hypothesis, FWIW.
