Default KSLI 'trial plate....!

Hi Gents,

As much as I want to believe this is genuine, my gut tells me to run a mile. So could you good folks just have a peek and let me know if my suspicions are founded?

Cheers,

Roy

Go with your gut, why would the cut off bits of a planchet be maker marked?
The W/l\D 'maker' mark is fake on a slider and though the pic is too unsharp to see I'm willing to bet the Lambourne mark is bogus too.

Rgds, Thomas.

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for that old chap. I suspected as much, just needed a second opinion.

Cheers,

Roy
