Flanders mud flaps, post WW1 use.

[Alan de Enfield]

I make it 23 on the originals Geoff, 28 on mine I think....

The 'problem' with discussing how to differentiate fakes / repros from originals is that we are telling the bad-guys to to make their fakes indistiguishable from the originals. Its a difficult balance to impart knowledge without giving away too much information.

I'll keep quiet on the wire diameter.


Mine is 22 1/2 coils on the spring. Who knows - maybe different manufacturers used slightly different springs ?
