fake repro no trap.jpg These are fake/repro for sure . If you look at the back side you won't find a rough uneven surface on the repro's . Real WRA will have rough casting on the backside like the ones listed on EPAYLast edited by wwIImilguy; 07-15-2016, 08:20. -

The buttplate I'm referring to is on EBAY, 252457018411, seller stan1258. It is funny how it looks to have been ground on the top inside of the plate where some are marked REPRO, although this is not what identifies it as a fake.Comment

Hey, how about this one? I was going to sell it and some one emailed me and told me it was valuable. I kind of doubt it, but I'd like to check first.
