Default BRECKNOCKSHIRE- TAPERED SLIDER

I team, just wanted an opinion on this one. The slider has a taper to it but for some reason I think it's a little off. Not sure on this one.

Thought I'd ask for some ideas.

thanks

Hello Simon,

Can you perhaps elaborate a little on what you mean by 'off' -do you mean the point at which the badge and slider are connected?

No, just that I know that tapered are faked. I saw one in the forums a few weeks ago that was considerably wide at the top. This had that look, and not so much like tapered WW1 pieces. Coupled with the rear detail, I'm leaning towards a fake.

Simon.

Right - I see what you mean.

So do you have a genuine tapered slider amongst your collection with which you can compare this one?
