Hauptmann Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hi all,I about lost my cookies tonight. Was surfing Ebay and lo and behold I find a listing for a "Mint Gorgeous REPRO. Russian Naval Officers Dagger :Thankfully different enough that anyone who has seen or handled real ones will know the difference in an instant. But as for newbie collectors or those who haven't had the chance to see or hold a real one... Next they'll be faking Lenin Centennial medals for crying out loud! Sigh.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimZ Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 (edited) Hi Dan,Are you really that surprised? As long as the stuff sells as "repro" that is fine! Its when sellers forget that little abberviation that there is trouble .... at least for some buyers!!As I always say..... It will only get worse!Jim Edited March 2, 2007 by JimZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hauptmann Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 Thanks for showing this! It'll be interesting to see what this SELLS for. Hi Rick,No problem. Thought it would be of interest. Again thank goodness it's different enough that anyone who's seen or handled a real one will know.I can't remember for sure but I believe it was a buy it now for around $55 or thereabouts.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all going in the same direction as TR stuff. It'll get to the point like it did with that where hardly anyone knows what's real and what's not and it won't be any fun anymore.Sigh. But did want to add that I too have no problem as long as copies are sold as such. It's when they get "too" good, are sold as originals and everything gets to the point where no one knows what's what anymore. Just gotta stay one step ahead of them all the time.
