Strange L42A1

[XL39E1]

Its not really a fake as there are no scope pads fitted, and if they were fitted then the markings would be obliterated!

Its not the point XL39E1, the fact is, all or most reading this its quite obvious to what it is, but its what Peter mentioned in an earlier post, when this appears again in maybe 50 years, (most of us will be gone then) if there is nothing recorded or on paper about it, then it becomes legit and someone then looses a small fortune.

Thats how forgery and fakes work, bring them into the system at the right time, or when there is an interest and people are willing to pay daft money, what you need to remember is, its estimated that 40% of the worlds art is fake.
