I appreciate that it ain't the real McCoy and maybe cheating a bit but so long as you are doing it for your own aesthetic reasons and not to sell on at a humungous profit, then what's the problem?
Forgive me if I am missing something here but what is the point in producing a copy marked as the original just for aesthetic reasons the owner would still know it was not "right" and someone further down the line will eventually end up with an "all matching" set up that isn't.
There is so much remarking going on on both repro and genuine items it is becoming very difficult for the ordinary collector to know what they are buying. As far as I am concerened any item that carries "false" markings should also be marked "repro" but that of course will never happen all the time big money can be made especially in the "sniper" field.

Simple.......... Just tell the engraver to mark it mark it 'repro' then!!!!! But it ain't a repro......, it's STILL the real McCoy with a different number. Over to you........
