Map: I am not an authority on these things, but the face of the stamp looks good to me. Everything seems sharp and there are no obvious problems with it. Is the photo of the stamped seal one that you made with the stamp? It certainly looks authentic. Dwight

Dwight: Thanks! Yes, I made the stamping today......had to dig through the kids school box to find an ink pad (and one that was not dry).
It's really sharp and has nice detail to the stamping. Here a betting close up of the stamp head. See the oxidation of the nail heads. With a 40x you can even seem more and the punch marks to drive the nails in. Looks good to me (hopefully).
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

certainly not like the polish fakes.

Harryamb2 is correct. I had one of the Polish fakes and it does not look like this. looking at the construction , quality of stamp and wear , IMO ...... legit

Several forms of the "Polish fake" ink stamps are on the market - some of which have been for decades. This however, is not one of them. Period ink stamps come in many various forms, several of which are accurately reproduced by those who aim to deceive.

I wonder why nails or tacks were used and not screws? After while I would expect the nails to loosen in the wooden handle with continual use whereas screws offer a more secure fixing and less prone to splitting along the wood grain than driving in nails with a hammer.
Not intended as a judgement on the authenticity of the satmp as I know nothing about them.

StefanM: Good question. It is possible that the stamp plate itself is authentic but has been attached to a non-regulation handle using nails instead of screws. Like you, I know nothing about official stamps, but the plate on this one still looks good to me on the basis of sharpness and everything looking correct. But as Carl88 said, "Period ink stamps come in many various forms, several of which are accurately reproduced by those who aim to deceive." On the other hand, maybe the nails are the original attachment method. Dwight
