Hello ...: Thank you for your answer. I have got these items as a payment for my archival research work. But I also detect some places with my metal detector and I have found some items personaly. I am an archivist and I live in Poland. I am 33 and I was educated in the University of Lodz (International Public Law Faculty). But my main interest is archival research. Diving and sailig also. I spend a lof of time in the archives and museums. Where I have a lot of friends. For example I know Cmdr. Ltd. David Watters who was a Deputy Director in National Maritime Museum in London. I have also friends in Ministry of Defence in UK. I am sending to you some of my credentials and references I have got in English archives. I hope it will help to trust me a little. If you will need I can also send to you my EU Passport and EU Driving Licence. The items are located in Poland (EU). So, if you have an interest in the holster/holsters - there shall be no problem for you. I also have two other holsters. Look at the photos. I can sell them for 140US$ each. Frankly, I am looking for someone I could cooperate in the future as I can get more genuine items from my close friends. I am waiting for your answer. All the best.

This sounds more like he's trying to get a date rather than sell something.

To me this screams 'scam artist'. I don't know, maybe I have an ear/eye for this kind of BS. I can't understand how anyone can fall for this kind of thing. To me it is really quite transparent, no better than the stupid nonsense that comes out of Nigeria. And what the hell is "archival research"? That doesn't even mean anything!

I think crimes of fraud should carry a "stupid enhancement". If you insult our intelligence with the complete stupidity of your attempt, you do an extra 20 years!
