What evidence is there that one is real? The photo doesn't show anything...

Hi. Th RR 564 1938 is a 100% genuine ( nice.. more piccs please) there are several vaients on the Richard Rinker markings, i'll post some when i get time to photo them, they can be just RR 1940 or as RR 564 1939 some R's are back to back while sonme are not. Regards nick.

More photos, The RR handle is dated 1939 as well as the head. The photo didn't show the 9 very clear. Both grenades match the heads and handles, Ray
