I noticed the recent topic discussing a purveyor of possibly of faked and altered guns has been locked out. I meant to post this earlier as I felt it maybe worth while. These where auctioned off over the weekend. Please take note of the description of the boxes. I hope no one got burned on them.

Are you thinking the rifles are also faked? Auction description states boxes are likely reproduction.

Actually the description states “The rifle includes a CORRECT box that shows PROPER labels, staples, internal spacers, paper lining and pamphlets, the corrugated box itself MAY be a very high quality reproduction.” That leaves a lot of room for interpretation of it’s authenticity. Something made the auction house suspicious to provide that caveat. A picture of the label would help.
The trouble with suspected fake boxes is that some collectors transfer that suspicion to the gun itself, imagining flaws that do not exist. If a guy would try to sell you a fake box, he would try to sell you a problem gun also.
