I wasn't taking the "authenticity" issue into account with my response above. I have handled far more faked items than real ones, unfortunately. For me it's too hard to tell from a picture if it's real or not. I do like the way the back looks.....but in person authenticating is always best.

I agree that there is a very high probability it is a fake. Just that possibility would scare me away.

I`m almost certain it`s a repo .. it looks to be aged with soiling etc.

Well...the latest consensus is that it's a fake/fantasy piece. The item, as you might have surmised, is on eBay.

As I'm not aware of an original of this poster, the question for me now is whether it is a fake/forgery or a fantasy piece.

It happens to be well-done if it's not old: note the consistency of the wear/discoloration on the front and back. Very scary if fake.

The listing is here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=370210485112

The seller claims that ebay suspended his account for seven days for using the word "Indian" in one of his descriptions. What's that all about?

So I see this sold for $363--a steal if real. Three snipers who are active sports memorabilia buyers (not that that means anything) joined a fourth late bidder. We, of course, don't know how much the winner was willing to pay, but the amounts put up by the underbidders seem to indicate that they were gambling. Stay tuned.
