Repro MG Pieces

[MG1918]

As with most collectable pieces repros are being made, and often passed off as originals. I am trying to identify the different patterns of inner shields and more importantly identify fakes. Any help greatly appreciated. Mark

Many leather MG08 & 08/15 accessories are also 'reproduced'. Although i seek the originals can anyone identify what to look for ref the differences? This is a spare parts case needed for the MG08 I think. Mark
