A counterfeit Test Type 1 (Folding Stock Carbine) is for sale on one of the regular guns sales sites. Its a pretty fair fake, but a fake none the less. I'll attach some photos of my TT1 and you can compare.

Frank,

Is this the one? I assume this is the one you saw at the Lakeland show?

Trey - Sorry if I offend any non-auction posting rules. If so, please delete the link.

Frank/Chip, appreciate it.
Here are my thoughts on listing current auctions:
I have no problems with listing dubious auctions as a public service/buyer beware. I don't mind listing current auctions that are easily available to the public either. By easily available to the public I mean, by going to the site and searching for a normal term, ie. Japanese Rifle, Japanese Pistol the auction is included in the returned list. That leaves a lot of gray area but its hard to explain. Trey

Thanks Trey. I thought that might be your philosophy, but wanted to inquire first.
