Default WHAT DO YOU THINK.....

Hi Chap's saw these two as Imagine some have already. Bidding is brisk, but am I right in remembering the Marples tag is suspect now. I would imagine this would make these very desirable if legit. Sorry, I'm on a Mac, and can't figure out how to paste the link.

Well, the GMG looks very rough, marked slider or not. Can't imagine even with rushed production this one would have been accepted.

Agree that the Machine Guns looks wrong. If he has one dodgey with a maker mark chances are the other is too, surely!

You know it's one of them situations - you wish it was true, but as always. Hope the bidders are looking for gap fillers......

100% agree Andy, although I rarely comment. Particularly the guards MG!
Cheers, Neil

Yes,, I wasn't going for them but checking my radar is sharpening being on here. Was I right then the Marples is the fake one I saw discussed a few weeks ago.,
