Hi, I bought two of these adapters about 3-4 months ago. One was a 44 date, and this one 43 date. I have shown these to other collectors, and some think they are repro, and some do not.
I am not sure if these are repro of fake. To me, it looks original Mfg. I also have read and heard that the aluminum adapters were the only ones that were marked. Lex shows a few on his site, and says this I believe.
I sold the 44 date adapter and kept this 43 date adapter. The font of the dates looks to be correct. It has a WaA 135, which to me looks correct also for a nazi ord. waffenampt. The adapter also looks to have some age to it.
What do you think?? Any more info or fake alerts of adapters that look perfect? (at least to me) If fake, it's a damn near perfect one.
Regards, Steve
