Fake Navy Eagle/M Stamp?

Pistol · 12-04-2017, 08:20 PM

This Navy Eagle/M is on a 42 BYF. Do you think it is a fake given sources say that use of this stamp ended sometime in 1940? Is the inventory # also fake? If so, someone has gone to a lot of trouble of faking a WWII Navy, while ruining a BYF at the same time.

Totally out of sequence N number to boot.
Why- someone out for an easy $$ or three.

It was a lot more fun back in the day when it would be a fake skull or swastika.

With a small hammer, a few light taps, and the right stamps you can make it a Navy, SS, Luftwaffe police, carrier officers Luger!!!!

... It has the same value from here on out either way!....
