    Yea,too much stuff was guaranteed to be authentic when I bought and fake when I sold it.Being raggedy a*s is no guarantee of anything but wear.LMAO I got an 80 year old set of serifed stencils I can make anything I want.

    You could run it by Bill Ricca. He's on the Board of Directors of the GCA (garand Collectors Association) and has penned articles for the GCA magazine on the subject of fakery as applied to various military web gear, maintenance tools, etc. His business website: http://billricca.com/

    A busy guy, no doubt. But you might get lucky. Heck, he may even post here under some pseudonym. HTH

    Perhaps the best thing is to ask the OP why he thinks it might be fake.LOL
