Maybe this will help you.

Creskol is right, not real, but at least interesting.

So the plate posted by Creskol is the EXACT same plate in the first post of this thread but from another website? The question was already answered somewhere else before this thread was made?

Yes...it is a Replica Plate...I found the exact same Plate on ebay...exactly the same...down to the reverse side with the supposedly scratched in Initials...Bummer....anyway I knew that if it was real.....with CSA..it would be worth a fortune......and I paid like scrap metal prices for it.....Thanks Joe
