Dick,
I think we know what a 1914 should look like.
1914 receiver date with cut
Triple crown S right chamber proofing
serial numbers in the low 1000, or less.
Otherwise they look like the 1915 and early 1916.
If I left out something, George will add it.
To call out a fake, there must have been some "glaring" error, easily visible, like the serial number or proofing.
This is what I was asking, just knowing the serial number of the fakes would help, similar to Norm's navy list where spurious Navy lugers are noted.
