Hmmm
fascinating!
i'd say that the one on the right could likely be the CIPSA

Thats what i was thinking,its got that CIPSA look to it and its the only one i have like that.I'm talking to the seller right now,he is saying he's going to send me another bandolier,so thats cool.I'm trying to figure out what he means by "resend its data".I'm going to send him some pics of the box.

"resend its data" likely means he needs your shipping address again

To the best of my knowledge, the rifle on the right is the Cipsa

I figured my address or shipping info,so i sent him pics of the box which has both.

Yep,i took a real closeup look at megoapesnut CIPSA Card picture and the rifle pictured has no grip checkering.I dont remember when i got that particular rifle,but i'am definately glad i found the real deal to go with him. I'm thinking the CIPSA bandolier/knife has to be the same as the boots and rifle,slightly different mold from MEGO and has more of a shine to it.

Give that man a cigar. It wasn't easy to get a shot thru the plastic, but here you go.

And here is a new wrinkle. My loose CIPSA Urko and Ursus both have rifles with a shiny black plastic, no checkered grip AND no Mego stamped on the stock.



The rifle sealed in the plastic is NOT shiny as far as I can tell and it DOES have the Mego stamp. SO...either the shiny plastic rifles with my loose figures are not CIPSA, or they are, but were possibly produced at a later time when CIPSA went to the shiny plastic and eliminated the Mego stamp??? Food for thought.

That is rad!!!

I'm looking also at the plastic bumps above the grip and on the top handle.
Differences there between MEGO & CIPSA

Hmmm,that is some more food for thought.Compared to the last pic of the rifles,the CIPSA marked MEGO isnt shiny,but it does seem more shiny than a regular H.K. trademark MEGO rifle.I'M confusing myself now. I have one of the very shiny rifles also,i was thinking it was a repro.CTVT made a rifle with no markings,but i dont know if they are with or without checkering on the grip.I have to check that out.

Very interesting comparison pics, guys! I'm guessing that Cipsa went through various running changes when manufacturing their rifles, material and mold-wise, just as Mego did here.

Yeah, I gotta believe what I see sealed in the plastic. Looks like the rifles with my loose figures are classictvtoys rifles. I am not sure where I got those but they look good displayed with my loose figures as the plastic is very shiny and matches the boots very well. At least I know that the rifles with my boxed versions are originals

Those CTTV rifles do go good with the Cipsa Apes. I'm with you gotta go with whats sealed in the bags.Thanks for posting those pictures.

I've heard that the bandoliers are basically the same, but I'd be interested in hearing a confirmation from someone who can compare the two.

We got the rifle differences figured out,but i'm also still interested in the differences(if any) between the CIPSA and MEGO bandoliers.Bryan,when you stated you had "comparison" pics,i took that to mean that there were differences between the two.I looked at the CIPSA bandolier pic you provided and i cant see any differences between it and the MEGO one.Are there differences between the two i'm missing? Thanks.
