Fake Canadian No 4(T)

[Surpmil]

That’s interesting Terry. I haven’t heard about that yet. Do you know who it is?
A number of years ago I saw a fellow selling what looked like a table full of NO4T’s at the Sidney B.C. show. On close inspection it became obvious they were fake but the seller was quite willing to let me believe (or so he thought) for some time they were original. He confessed he had made them when it became obvious I had some knowledge of the No4T.

Are you referring to me? My table was next to John's and it was 'several' years ago that I had several No4(T)s on a table out there.

I'm afraid I didn't "confess" to making any No4(T)s...I wish I could though.

Perhaps you are mis-remembering my explaining the renumbering of that bracket? IIRC the other rifles did not have scopes or brackets.

Those rifles have mostly gone to other collectors now, some perhaps even as well-informed as you, and so far none of them have complained about their "fake" No4(T)s...
