Hi,
You guys are right. Why pay $20 for a blank real tool when you can buy a fake for $10 to $20? The money you save can buy you ...... ?? ... another tool perhaps. But wait, you might want to put an order in for an O:37, B/90, W/154, or E/135 next, or a E/B, or E/L police tool to the guys faking them. Better yet, have him make you a matching numbered tool for that Weimar Luger or Mauser Police Luger. I'm sure down the road when you get rid of these "special order tools" that the new owner will represent them as "reproductions" also, and the new buyer will be able to tell the real examples from these! Lets be honest here, we all know this is going to happen down the road, so why pretend it won't, and why pretend it isn't going to hurt someone? These are no good to anyone in my opinion and for the cost of a blank real tool you're not saving hardly anything, but you are helping to spread fakes. Just my opinion.
