I have a 1/2 frame M4P which I bought from a well respected dealer who says it is genuine though Tom Abrahamson was skeptical and thought only about 6 were made. On mine the film gate is machined 18x24, this obviously could only be done as a copy if the copier had access to unmachined shutter crate castings.
