Grease Gunner Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) Here is a Swetnam case sold here 3 years ago and the inside has a label "Swetnam"I didnt realize this was a fake of a Swetnam The First 5 pics are the "Swetnam" The next 4 are my case. Mine is also a Swetnam Replica Mine is also a fake of a Swetnam most likely done in the 70's when this was prevalent Thanks to huggytree for alerting me that I had no clue about these!!! My case Follows with 4 pics Edited August 15, 2018 by Haris357 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBill Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 A old "xpert" I know claims Gordon H had access to Swetman repro decals back in the 90's . Buyer Beware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1921A Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) The original Swetnam decals were water slide type. The decals Gordon had made are vinyl. If youve seen an original you wouldnt have any difficulty telling the difference. Gordons reproduction below. 1921A Reproduction vinyl decal Edited August 20, 2018 by 1921A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
