John Kloehr Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 10 minutes ago, Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 said: A real reproduction I prefer authentic reproduction. "Genuine antique finish" never hurts. I have a nice collection of antique(d) authentic reproductions of prison cell locks. I know they are genuine as they came from a gift shop! They are also "original" which the dictionary defines as "first of its kind." Like in the grocery store when a product changes and is no longer the same as it used to be, it is now "original." So even better, my locks are original antique(d) authentic reproductions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
