m12 trench heat shield unusual

[razors edge]

Interesting part..I'm curious as to the markings.

Either a poor fake or a real one that had an unfortunate bubba encounter . U.S mark - fake . W mark - fake . Looks like the heatshield is bolted on ? Fake .

An out and out fake.

All the markings are fake. It could have started life as a real adapter, but the fence is fake and all the markings are fake. Worthless.
