"Fake" and "forgery" are the wrong concept for JABC's in my view. Other than the fact that they were shotguns, they bear little resembelence to the name brand. The Belgians, I suppose, well knew that very few Americans knew what a W. W. Greener or Westley Richards looked like. Other than the use of W. Richards (William Richards of Preston/Liverpool), they only got close on the name. Despite the fact that most JABC's have been shot to pieces with modern ammo, I think they served well for the investment made. They were farm tools.
