Here's a different view

The basic plaque itself with target & crossed rifles is most likely original. However, I don't like the SS plaque. The staining looks very contrived. Look how it does not extend to the wood? The font is poor, note the lack of a cross to the letter "t" and a very general inscription. If offered to me, I would not buy it.

Cheers, Ade.

I agree, the marksman plaque appears original but in my opinion the ss plaque does not fit how they would present it in ss fashion. It is in poor presentation.

Look how close the letters are to the large SS . That looks wrong to me. The plaque had room to spread out a bit. No need to crowd the SS that way. I think it is bogus. A similar SS plaque was on e pier a week or so ago. It was made by the same BOZO that made up this plaque. I put it on this forum. Compare them. Cavaet Emptor!
