Finding a fake

I agree with you Don, in the end what really counts is personal experience and some reliable good books.
I another forum more or less on the same topic we were talking about the fact that some books are very expensive (Clawson's on 1911) and another forum member more or less said that for instance an original Singer magazine in nice condition is probably worth $10K if you could ever find one. A field Serve replacement General Shaver mag costs about $60, and they are quite common. How many people have grossly overpaid for what they thought was a Singer magazine? He have had several General Shaver mags shown to him by guys who purchased them, thinking they were getting a Singer mag. They lost far more money in one purchase than what a Clawson books generally sells for.
