Default Re: Pimp Gun - Apology...

I look at it this way: There is art and there are historic artifacts. Multiple copies of an item, like a group of identically decorated lugers, falls a bit short of the usual concept of art being a unique artistic creation that may or may not be expert, creative, attractive or otherwise of high quality. The LP08s are rather cheesy and closer to a velvet Elvis than a Van Gogh. Historic artifacts are a different matter valued for their historic information and associations. These LP08s are an odd blurring of both art and history that in the end is neither--the art is arguable and copied while much of the historic information in the LP08s has been stripped off with the original finish and parts. No purchaser should have confidence that the money spent will be recoverable.


Just my opinion.
