Hey Guys,

     I am posting a pic of a S'G' barrel band swivel, would appreciate expert input out there, is this real or is it fake? 
Also, what would be a fair price for a real swivel like this?   Thank y'all for your help!

       
   Thanks,  Burrojack

As a comparison, this is the buckle on my 100% correct Saginaw S'G'#3549***Sorry for quality.
Hope it helps.

Me again, I recently read an article that said a real one was ridiculously expensive.

If you compare the font of the K in the two swivels I think you'll get your answer.

Did you mean the swivel I posted vs. the one you posted?

The font looks same or similar, but the one I posted is very heavy stamping compared to two other
swivels that are posted by club members. 

  Is that what you mean?  So mine IS fake??   Can you recommend a fair price for swivel?
    Thanks!

All of my KV swivels are stamped with lettering facing the receiver when mounted on band, not the muzzle end.  
I would say OP's swivel is a reproduction.

Thank you, that is another obvious difference from the one I posted!
