crazy :D So in Shoei magazines, there are always followers with gqm mark. But does this mean all gqm followers are fake Shoei? Because in the ayv magazine there is a gqm follower and also a gqm bottom plate. Which both look legit somehow.... The aqr follower that was in the Shoei mag has a...

details and comparison between #05a: Follower "aqr" --> it has minor differences to the Shoei one, maybe original? #05b Follower "aqr" --> this was inside the Shoei mag, so probably a Repro?

details of #06 gqm

Details of #03 unmarked, blued

here are the followers: #01: Follower relic condition, unmarked #02: Follower semi-relic condition, unmarked #03: Follower unmarked, blued --> I suspect this to be a Repro #04: Follower unmarked, bare steel #05a: Follower "aqr" --> it has minor differences to the Shoei one, maybe original? #05b...

Hello everyone, after one of my magazines was identified as a Shoei copy, I want to be sure about my other magazines. Maybe you guys can help me once again. - are these mags and parts all ww2 issue? - are they belonging together, or should I swap certain parts? Thanks again for help and advice...

Thanks for the value estimation. No, the seller did not know they were Repro. To be honest, for the inexperienced eye these magazines really look very real :(

As I said, the seller and I thought they were real ww2 issue. Thanks for the value estimation, I will have to talk to the seller then....

Thank you. I already suspected it to be Dittrich. But I never had a BD in hand, so I was unsure. I paid $320 for both parts together, thinking they are real ww2 issue. Do you know the price for Dittrich parts? I might keep them, or send them back to the seller, depending on their real value...

Thank you, you are confirming my doubts :-/ I paid $215 - how much is a Shoei mag pricewise? Then I will decide if I send it back, get a little refund, or maybe keep it. yes. It was a mixed bag of original and dubious parts.

Hello everyone, I have these two parts of an MP44 but I am unsure if they are real or Repro. While doing research I was not able to find "ce" marked parts with a surface finish like this. Thanks for help, Christian

@Nigromontanus I saw you have a lot of knowledge about these :)

Hallo everyone, someone told me this magazine might be a Shoei copy. I spent about 2 hours reading through different forums, looking at the Shoei website, but I am still clueless. How do I know if this mag is a real gqm ? Thanks for help, Christian
