Riegel Mine 43

[Buster]

The picture below shows what appears to be a Riegel Mine 43 in remarkably good condition. It is the only picture I have. Have these ever been produced as replicas? Any information would be much appreciated particularly regarding originals. Thanks in advance.

Over the years I have seen a number of "repros" and fakes. For those skilled in such things it would not be a difficult piece to manufacture.

If nothing else, the stenciling looks suspect compared to an original:

That's what I thought, thanks for confirming and the additional info.
