Mauser Silver - For the purist

I could make these easily, so could anyone with a casting set up. Another scam in the making.

I bet my apprentice one time that I could make something new and have it sold within a day on eBay, she took the bet. I made a pair of cufflinks in .925 silver; swastica within a circle with red enameling. Before ebay could remove it, it was sold and the money was in my paypal account. I also ate lunch for free that day.

and I got my first warning. You really need to be careful; knockoffs are so easy to make. I've done pieces for reenactment groups that they couldn't even tell the copy from the original.

BTW I didn't sell the cufflinks as WWII original. Besides, originals would have been in .800 silver unless made here in the states. They where listed as " An Unusual Pair of Sterling Silver Cufflinks. Yep, eBay did jump me,

Strike One.
