And was fiddled!!
A lad I knew showed me these and said he'd swap them for a nice BSA Superstar, He knew I had a mk2k Superstar which was very nice so I said i'd bring it over as he didn't drive..
Now i'd traded with this fella a few times and was even warned by a mate about him!, Anyhow, I'd been shooting and had the SS in my car along with a few others that i'd taken to try out so I dropped in at his with the SS, He suddenly said that he wanted something else too like the Webley Hurricane he saw in my boot so I said ok, He then came out with, 'One of the Spidies is a clone but I can't remember which one'!
I got them home and put pics in a knife group on facey only to be told they were all clones and that the two marked Hinderer were clones too and if genuine, One of the hinderer and a Spiderco would probably cost around £1200
I had no idea but he did and he knew he had my trousers down, I phoned him up and told him what I thought of him, he offered anther knife in to the deal (He'd already sold the superstar!), I told him to shove it where the sun don't shine and never spoke with him again..
I was told that even as clones I would get roughly what the rifle was worth if I sold them!
There's a couple of genuine oldies in there though like the Sheffield made grafting knife and the next two lockbacks although the white scaled one is a cheap CK product..
