Your engraving looks like the real McCoy to me andya. Deep, clean and even. Unlike the engraving on 684....... deep and shallow, not what I'd call clean cut or even even! I don't know anything about Enfofcers but I know what factory engraving looks like, having seen one or two L42's. And it's, er........... deep, clean and even. Just my thoughts

That’s reassuring Peter thank you. It is worrying when the word fake gets banded around but I suppose they aren’t fake at all just produced later out of original parts by an alternative firm. I am not an armourer but I know that when assembling rifles of any type a certain amount of personal skill and experience is needed and they are not just simply a ‘bolt together’ affair. So my next questions are:
How good were the Charnwood Armourers? If they were up to speed and should the new old stock bitsas simply be considered a later production run not necessarily inferior, after all as I understand it they were made from original parts?
Either way the Charnwood version must be in relatively small numbers and therefore very collectable in their own right?
