Previously I've seen "artifacts" very much like this one for sale only by one particular vendor from NC who sets up at Mansfield OH, and the Baltimore Gun Show in Timonium, MD. It looks as though his handiwork is spreading throughout the CW relic market, unfortunately, duping many new collectors. When I brought it to the attention of the managment of one of the shows mentioned, they were not interested in pursuing the matter for reasons that don't make sense to me, but then I'm not in their shoes. If there is anything you can do to stop the rampant fake-selling at shows, it would benefit the whole community.
Details and link to site where one of them is for sale are here:
