MGC Broomhandle Mauser replica.. a question about a DL-44

[Andymac84]

The Mauser in this auction is shipped from Manila (Philippines)..so near the original japanese origin. Do u think this could be a good one? Unfortunately there is only a small picture and they didn't have any more...

Okay, thanks for your help. I think I'll let this go.

How can you see that in such a small picture? (97×100 JPEG)

I am only now trying to learn the differences between Denix, MGC and real Mauser, so I am curious.

The dead giveaway to me is that those are stock photos of the Denix that you see used on numerous sites. You can tell it's the same photos just very small.

Also, the Denix sports a really fugly hammer that doesn't look like any real Mauser hammer... it's kinda sloping and sits too low. The weird angle-hammer shape can be seen in that small stock photo too (you have to squint a bit)...
Also, a MGC for what, 80 bucks? Won't happen (anymore.) They're rare and sought for basically everywhere.
