Several months ago I was asked by a friend to sell some M-1 Carbines on Auction Arms. I was going to make a commission if they sold. I am not a carbine collector but took his description and posted. The guns were beautiful and to me looked original. When I had a question as to a guarantee of originality I asked the owner. At this time I was told that the guns had been refinished and restored. I was not happy and closed the auctions. So maybe Revshop sold consignment guns and was not told of any forgery's being done. I will say that I have never bought anything from him , but it is something to think about.
