Oh well, I guess this comes in the catagory of the sellers father or grandfather taking the Luger off of a dead German general dring WW1 or WW2. Sales talk (lying) can sucker in a lot of guys.
drbuster,
I thought that Buddy Hackett was a sword collector. I also thought that the only thing that Sammy Davis Jr. collected was very beautiful women.But I stand by my qualified statement that "Celebreties are known for their talent and NOT NECESSARILY for their intelligence". For instance, I don't think that I would buy a Luger or anything else off of Brittany Spears.But there are some celebrety stars who did make very intelligent investments. Randolph Scott, a pre John Wayne movie hero, used his movie money to buy a considerable amount of land in the San Bernadino Valley, News papers erroneously labeled him as a real estate salesman in his later years. Actually, he was selling off his own property at a considerable profit.
I don't know who was making the 1904 navies in the 70's. I do know that the early ones were a bit inaccurate. But the later ones were pretty good counterfeits. I thought (and can be wrong) that Krause had to put his name on the toggle because DWM was copywrite protected. I hold great disgust for people who make EXACT copies of collectors items in any arena for the purpose of cheating the unsuspecting.I don't care if they have one year of experience or 50 years of experience. But some jerks seem to take pride in cheating people.
