    Fake WRA/GHD on sales board

    Well I contacted the seller as I was asked to verify this stock. He has ignored me totally so I best help here.

    It is a West coast forgery and as you can see below it has the same fake Ordnance wheel as the fake NFR has. Barry Redding tried to pass these off years ago and was buying from Karl Krause who has been a long time forger. Be careful folks. Rick Bicon

    Here is another of these fakes. The key is the Looney Tune style cannons and the large squarer G. The H is larger and the D extends forward a bit more. They got this one close and years ago it fooled me on faint ones. Once I started seeing the same cannons show up on other SA examples I realized a closer look was needed. These have been around for about 10 years now. Rick B
