Hi All
I bought this in a package with some daggers and other bits. At the time I dismissed it as a fake.
On later inspection it looks like it may be right but I need some expert help It looks to have had the old pin broken and removed and replaced some time later.
I may well be totally wrong but even the AS mark looks OK.
I throw this into the pot for discussion

If real - I don't like the level of detail on the front- however i do admit I am not an expert with these. It has been worked on as evidence by the "scars" where the original pin and catch were.
