Re: Bull-loney
When I was in Europe, I passed over one medal that I should have bought, it was $30 and I was afraid it was fake. This guy from e-bay, who I have lost track of, collected and sold Militaria, including Nazi items such as medals and he sent me a book (for free!) to help me out. Was a very nice guy. He said that most (in quotations and bolded) that most fakes were easy to tell apart, the quality was not there. However he was an expert and I was afraid that to the average joe blow (ME!!), I would get taken, so I didn't buy anything, but probably should have. You didn't see that many items in Rommel Markts (like a flea market). I did buy a Police ID card, a Luger holster that had been found buried, so it is all hard and in pieces and a few other items. My plan is to bring these oddities to the convention and share them (FOR LOOKING, ) with all that are there. Just as an off shoot, not to compete with those with REAL collections, heh, heh.
