Hello,
I have thought it is a Pakistani copy because on your picture it looks very similar to one I have in my fake box to compare with the real items.
I bought it 10 years ago in UK, a seller sold them by hundreds for 2 pounds each, and we had a good talk about them, he told me they were made in Pakistan. I have seen the first Pakistan fakes around 1995 in France and after I saw them ny hundreds in UK and at that time they didn't have any paper baking. They are easy to detect, it is a "mess of threads" at the back of the title. Note the Beach Ordnance shoulder title I have shown there is a Pakistani fake "first pattern"... Regards. J-F
