It would have to be a pretty good fake if you ask me. The plaque looks every bit as old as the rest of the gun. If it came from his grandmother, then the odds of a fake go way down, unless grannie was a crackerjack counterfeiter. Apparently Mr. Bitterlich was fairly well known in and around Tennessee as other arms of his have shown up at auction.
Of course, if you're implying that this gent is having us all on...
