    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

    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.

    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
