That looks like a bad one to me.

We really need a bigger and better picture to be sure but it doesn't look promising at this point in time.
Cheers,

I have larger photos of this, but can't take the time right now to send them. EF shell. 2 coats of paint. Decal appears to be an attempt at a Poocher (to me at least) and is painted around the edges. No evidence of an underlying decal. Bidding is over $1300.00 right now.....

Here are some phony's that are hitting the marketplace from the UK. This guy has a website and is doing the eBay thing as well naturally. In my opinion they're going to be causing trouble.

These are foil backed, lacquer applied decals that look pretty good after application and with some fake patina and wear.

PS, If these have already been posted I apologize for the redundancy.
