[QUOTE="Jimi Woolley, post: 385834, member: 5993"] I heard a good tip on how to determine if a weapon is a painted repro or not the other week. As well as the obvious look & feel of them, there is the scratch test but it seems some people aren't willing to really dig into the surface of a weapon with a blade in fear of damaging an original item. The other method is the 'draw/write with' test. If you take a painted repro & try and draw a line with it on a piece of paper it will leave a coloured line behind where the paint has rubbed off. Originals don't. I tried it with 3 painted repros out of my kids collection & it worked on all 3. Jimi [/QUOTE]
