Not a variant (if that's what it is) of any Schwerin Zerstorer I can really think of, I have massive doubts that are telling me no. Many things seem off to me like the MM and the suspension hook plus a number of other little details but best wait fort the KM guys to comment.

Regards, Ned.

Thanks Ned, will wait for the KM guys opinions. I do not have a good feeling about this one though, regards, Juan

Yeah, tbh the more I look at it the more it stinks.... Still, best wait for corroboration.

Hi Juan,

sorry to say that this is not an original Schwerin.A definate fake IMO.

The maker mark,reverse hardware are incorrect.

Looks like one of the "Cave Creek,Arizona" fakes to me?

Regards,Martin.

Hi Martin, definetely a fake, checked it with some good pictures and the differences are outstanding, hopefully next time I will post a nice one, take care, Juan

Look forward to seeing the "nice one" Juan.

Hi, not one I would be tempted by either. On top of Ned and Martins observations, this looks to have been dropped in boiling oil or alike to try and artificially age it. Leon.
