New Info on Deathshead Stamps

Aaron, thanks for the post that just might save someone a heap of money. Actually it is fairly easy to tell the real one from that fake, there is very little resemblance between the two plus the SS runes should not be there. Perhaps he was honest enough to make it different to warn experienced buyers. Some of the german dagger fakers will do that, make just a little error that will tip you off if you know your stuff. I am curious to learn how a flat stamp can make a decent impression on a rounded chamber though. Maybe there are others out there that are even of better quality. Costanzo even warns us to watch out for fakes using this marking, and that was printed in 1977. Collecting is not what it used too be, I think I'll stick with shooters and let the big money go for the goodies, at least I know what I'm getting.
