OK: I saw the Crown/M, but don't see the Crown/N on the other side...maybe because I don't know where to look for the proof...

The rear sight leaning...I didn't catch that at all...

Wouldn't a "good fake" have to have a whole new fake rear toggle w/sight machined & blued to fool anyone??? Just screwing on a sight (even an accurate one) wouldn't fool anyone...(That's a guess)...

I'm going to blow up and print out the fake referred to here, along with a real Navy from the other threads...

As someone else commented in another thread, the last of the WWII vets are dying off, and their sons & daughters have no idea what's in that footlocker in the attic...
