Hi Amp, think about this senario, because i believe it hits the nail on the head.
In the early years, writing TR militaria books was the In-Thing, and there was a huge surge.. now most of these dealers still cant understand German, so what they possibly, and quite honestly, believed was a period piece decades ago, that has now been proven a fantasy or a fake, even though deep down inside they KNOW this, and they agree too, they cant state the opposite.
• If they did they would loose face
• If they did it would start ppl talking, i.e. If they screwed up with these daggers, then just what else did they screw up with?
• They would go broke giving refunds... these Puff Skulls are quick off the mark to say "Lifetime guarantee" and the rest, but if push came to shove, they would not have enough money to cover the refunds. (Look at Detlev Niemann, for example, and another German Dealer who i wont name, but who is up to his neck in law suits ant the moment.)
The "damaging" part, is that they wont admit anything for fear of going broke (or being stabbed with their fake $49,995.- daggers at some show) so they are still rooting for them, even though they, and all their buddies know that they are rooting for crap. Hows that saying go? "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to decieve"
