Plasch-Palatka markings real?

**guscanoesp** · 02-06-2009, 05:10 PM

Hi,

I am posting photos of the stampings of what they tell me is a GPW period Plasch-palatka.

Is it a genuine stamp or a fake? if so, can it possibly be wartime, or maybe early post war?

I appreciate your help.

Regards,

Gus

It's a not a war time stamp, just badly stamped, and due to that it looks like 43, but must be 63

Can anyone supply pictures of a genuine GPW period Plasch and its markings? I have read either that the stitched eyelets indicate GPW manufacture or that leather ones do!

best wishes
