Can the experts have a sqint at this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pre-War-Shell...1c1a2ed431

Would like a bid on this but not sure if this is genuine?

No splash on the back and a few other areas look a bit different to others i've seen in the past. What do you think?

Any help appreciated, Kind regards, Mark

Thanks guys, really appreciate the feedback, I really want a shell sign for my collection, but there do seem to be alot of fake shells especially out there. If anyone has this one in their collection, could you post a piccy up, I have no idea what the back should be like for example. Al, you seem to collect petroliana, any idea? Mark

Well, been taken off, so money has changed hands. I was offered it for £323 and had first dibs.
Found a photo of a genuine one on the H&H feb auction site. The holes were also in the wrong place. Many thanks for all your comments and helping me decide not to buy
Cheers fellas, Mark (all I need now is somebody to confirm it's genuine and i'll get my coat!!)
