M1903A4 fake or original

[MisterGreen]

Many thanks to all that commented. At the end of the day, when you have made a mistake or have a mistake on your hands, you just roll with it and admit it. Never fun to admit.

I get pretty defensive about negative comments toward my business and/or the arms I sell when they are posted publicly. Online text can and does get taken out of context all to often. My apologies if I came off like a Joe Blow in the OP.

Thanks to Promo for helping me avoid a possible deal failure and or duped client.

Being an appraiser can be tough. Everyone thinks "you must know everything". Well I am here to tell you, I don't and nobody does. I must constantly remind myself. Appraising is about knowing the process, having the relationships and the library to confirm info. I am very thankful for online resources and great minds such as the Milsurps crew to help with concerns such as this. This was my first experience with a collection of A4's specifically. One of the best lessons in fakes for me this year.

We never intended to be making negative statements toward your business, I didn't read his comments that way either. No acrimony intended. We see this sort of thing all the time here...
