Default Territorial Leicesters

I'm not convined on this one! From the front it looks fairly good. However the slider is wrong IMO, the crimp mark is a feint example typically found on repros to make them look a little more "Authentic". The slider should be longer, fitted to the center of the Tiger's belly and not be so uniform in shape. Furthermore the lack of reverse detail, in particular to the rear of the base scroll does not bode well, although this could be down to maker variations I would not tag it as Genuine if I were selling it!

I've attached a Genuine example, don't be put off by the brightness as it is in Mint un-issued condition and a flash has been used when taking the photo.
