He is selling a pic of the "Rat Fink" for a buck and a quarter (x 100) here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Class-of-55-...item484be8e2f2 by another artist.

Or, one could visit Big Daddy Roth's site and pick up a poster, licensed by the original artist, for six (bucks) here http://www.ratfink.com/store/index.p...products_id=78

The guy is a moron..That's a post war holster for starters. $1.250? I want to meet the guy stupid enough to fork over that kind of money for this POS. His list of offerings is full of outright fakes..Not all of his stuff is fake. Some original items sneak through. From what I can tell he is rude in the extreme and a nasty bugger to deal with.

The holster looks like a post war Austrian police holster for the Hi Power. The Front part of the holster has been cut down.

Why does he survive as a seller - well someone may purchase his things. Just recently a normal 'Commercial' PPK sold for an amount slightly in excess of $4,000. Now mind you, it came with an 'SS" marked holster (Eagle plus the runes). Several people were biding on it.

This is kind of like the story of the little girl sitting at a stand outside her house selling lemonade... Her sign says:

Lemonade! $1000.00 a cup... so a motorist stops and asks her if she has sold any and she says "not yet!"

Then he asks her if maybe the price being so high that it might be the reason why she isn't selling any... and her response is:

Maybe, but at that price I only have to sell ONE cup!
