Ok then, let’s have some views on this. 110574390562
I know what I think. For a start the back is way to clean for it to be a genuine sign, the screw holes are also to far in. The detailing just isn’t there and on top of that I’ve never come across one this size. No doubt someone is now going to prove me wrong, but what do you lot think???

just dosen't have the detail as you say, also the 19,000,000 ...... wasn't it 17,000,000?

If you look at his other sign's he's listed, this is the only one that he dosn't state as original. I've emailed all the same.

Likewise never seen it at this small size. There is another for sale at the moment on the US eBay site, i'm going for defo fake but i really want it to be real!!!

Got this from seller :

Hi, Sorry i do not know the age of this sign. I have never seen another & would only be guessing its age. Please make up your own mind as to its age as i am selling this as (very rare) sign rather an an antique.. Kind regards Andy

hi guys-dont be fooled by these cheap indian repros- they are massed produced.the antique shop near me sells them by the bagfull- a good tip in future for most of these and other indian repros is that the size is always the same 48cm x 36cm-if i a sign is exactly this size and looks repro it probably is--David

Me thinks the winning bidder is going to be somewhat disappointed when it arrives, or maybe not… either way I don’t suppose the seller is going to mind too much.
Oh well that’s life….

 Hi Guys, sometimes I really wonder about a few you,  must be looking so hard for rarities that you can't see wood for the trees...http://www.roadsiderelics.com.au/node/438 ...Have a look as this will put away any doubt and end thread so we can get on with the real Mcoy ! British Dominions is a very popular large sign 60x40 inches and much underated !
