It this cartouche real or fake?

[1mark]

I am not a carbine collector and I am trying to find out if this is real or a fake stamp. I have a chance to but a large quantity of carbine stocks and this is one of them.

Can you post better pictures of it?

I will try to get by to the person selling them this week end to get another picture. Which angle do I need to take?

we need Rick Borecky's eyes on this one too...... I'm leaning to a No verdict, the cannons look off.

Take more then one more photo. Take them from all angles and right over head. Right now with the one photo the stamping looks thin and would be a fake if it's so.

I'll get more pictures, but I got a message from RickB and he says it real.

[Tuna]

It could be and my be the angle of the picture but as I said before the stamping of the letters appears to be thin. Has the stock been sanded quite a bit?

[da gimp]

if Rick says it is good. then good it is..............

Just looks like it has been exposed to moisture to me. I'm with StockDoc. I say real.
