    S.A EMcF Fake Over Real Inspector Marking?

    Late 1942 S.A. Production date with what looks like an EMcF stamp over another EMcF stamp, look closely. Do you guys think any of these stamps are real of just faked?

    Cross cannon?
    Small cross cannon on pistol grip?
    Firing proof?

    All opinions and thoughts are welcomed and encouraged.

    Thanks,

    Tom

    Markings are faked. The double stamp is from the fake stamp and not a real one under it. The M for starters is to short in the middle. The cannons are so bad that I wont even comment since nothing is correct about them. Hope this helps Rick Bicon

    Rick,

    Thank you for the reply, You're correct on the "m" as it's a dead giveaway and the cross canon is not worth mentioning.

    Not even good fake.

    Thanks for taking your time to look,

    Tom

    fake cartouches

    The SA SPG and SA GHS are (in my opinion) most faked of the WW2 period cartouches

    cartouches in photos are original
