I saw a Mexican or Spanish copy that looked like someone made it with a file.  Anyone have any other examples?

Shotgun Franklin

Probably 27 years ago or so I handles a counterfeit 'Colt' at a big gun show in Houston. It was a copy of a first Generation Artillery. It was a decent copy except that the Colt was on the wrong side of the frame.
Yes, I do have more facial hair now.

Hoof Hearted

Howdy!

Not sure I would play into "worst" but I can stomach a conversation about the discrepancies of the earlier copies.

I'll start with the Jaeger Dakota's.

The Brass grip (poorly shaped)
The funky line of the rear sight portion of the frame (square and poity)
The odd misshapen hammer (rounded on the spur and miss-profiled)

All true...

The Dakotas were pretty solid though.  The post modern flourishes ended up kinda growing on me.
