[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 451247, member: 7379"] Well, the page to check them against is this one: http://www.imperialgunnery.com/palaceblasters.htm The lighter grey one (on the right) certainly looks OK to me, but the brown / grey one on the left seems to have a slightly odd-looking front to the scope on top of the gun. Your one looks domed rather than a smaller cylinder extending from the one behind it, like on the light grey one. It may of course simply be a factory moulding issue and nothing to worry about, but given the number of repro weapons around, it can be really hard to be certain, especially when dealing with photos and not having the actual weapons in hand. It's good that they both have the small bump, but if you are able to compare them in hand to known genuine ones of the same V numbers, even better. Having said all that, if both of these pass the float and drop tests, then if they were mine, I'd probably be inclined to believe they were real unless a forum expert advises otherwise. :-) [/QUOTE]
