counterfeit stamps

[sheepherder]

There have also been cases of a 'mechanic'/seller posting pics of his rare Luger here on this forum and inviting comments. His intent is to state in his auction that the Luger was presented to the experts and passed inspection.

It rarely works.

There have also been 'mechanics' who post a question here about how some feature/marking should look, rather than how it does look. Gotta watch out for those guys.

I swear, if I was 30 years younger, I'd be cranking out bogus Totenkopfs, Russian Contracts, and Spandau Lugers by the wheelbarrow full!!!
