SA/GHS - Rick B Please

[SPEEDGUNNER]

Need another set of eyes on this SA/GHS off a 312XXX 10-41 rifle. How does it look, real or Memorex?

Hopefully these pictures provide enough detail.

Thank you.

Looks just like mine. Yours is a little further back on the wrist.

Not Rick but does not look right to me? Cartouch is too crisp when compared to the condition of the stock. Letters look to fat font wise. Jim

Those are the same two questions that brought me to post the pictures here and look for opinions. Cartouche looks double struck (or stamp bounced) and very sharp compared to overall condition of stock. Seller (member here) claims right as rain and assures me stock is not messed with. I don't mind paying good money for something with honest wear, but I don't like paying for something that is humped.

I tried to post up the pictures over on the CMP Garand Forum but for some reason it won't let me.

Need more opinions please!

RUN LIKE HELL that is a horrible fake. Sorry Rick B

By the way all your assumptions why mean absolutely nothing. The stamp being real or not is all that counts since many are crisp or double struck and more. If the letters and cannons are not real they just aren't real and nothing else counts. I have seen allot of oddities. Rick B

I suspected as much. Thank you.

Ha, even before scanning down the post for Ricks reply I knew that one was bogus. Dam cannons are horrible, not even a good fake.

Looks like it was a long channel GHS that was on a rifle that went through a rebuild. If I am right it would have been better to have left it as it was rather than messing it up with fake stamps.
