Gunbroker navy, Real or fake

Jasta2 · 05-03-2014, 12:02 PM

Nice looking restored navy listed on Gunbroker
# 413038974 ( sorry I not know to post link.)
It is unit marked WK 12828
Does this look like a correct Navy or built.
The refinish job looks good to me. If it is a real navy, even though refinished, no collector value, it still looks to be a good buy at the price navies sell for now.
Thanks, Bill
6 months in Florida over. Headed back to New Hampshire for 6 months May 5th. Liked being in Fl. and not putting up with a tough New England winter. Lived through to many of them!

Fake. Made up of parts. Nicely marked but not genuine.

Ron, What stood out to you that you know it was faked? Just trying to learn!
Thanks, Bill
Oh, What is the unit number?
