Another cartouche question

Hi Guys,

Does this cartouche look legit? I'm certainly no expert.

It seems like it's too fresh.

Thanks

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Looks fake to me. BTW, the GHS stock cartouche is one of the most faked out there. To help, a GHS stock will have a "scalloped" clip latch cut and a number stamped inside the barrel channel.

Scalloped (tapered) clip latch cut. All GHS stcks have this cut and some very early EMcF stocks as well.

Down to the bottom left corner of the box you see the trace of another box. Lower left of the "G" also shows a trace of a previous letter stamp.

Anyway, here's a very long thread we were all involved in some time back with many tells and hints. As Rick Pointed out, double and triple strikes don't make any difference, nor upside down, cannons on the wrong side or light V/S heavy... Many hints and things to look at.
