Hi lads
Any chance anybody can tell if this is real or fake, I've bought before off this seller and everything was fine,and how much should I pay if it's real

Some markings in the wood ? On the top of the m 24....

He says there's no visible markings , I've requested more pictures off him but says its 100% 😊

Im guessing the handle is new - added to a relic ground dug head.
Just does not match.

On all the wood parts, I had code plus the year.

Do all m24s have markings? This will be coming from Italy area if that makes a difference !

Looks like new wood on a dug up head

all where marked.

The head and the fittings on the handle are all original. The handle may be original but sanded and a finish applied. It doesnt take much sanding to remove markings on some handles. At any rate a highly finished handle with a pitted head and fittings just does not go together.
