This is the quote from BobI on the WAF thread:
It looks "extremely" legitimate to me! Since they are real I have defended these knives from the start. Since it was proposed we "out" those who brought these to market, I guess we can't collect anymore. Since, it would appear we have no proved these to be of 3rd Reich manufacture. Tom's bag looks as real as possibly can be!
Best Wishes,
Bob
PS- It always amazes me how so many respected people can vet purchase these and it is not considered credible.
Extremely legitimate? What a wonderfully, supportive and fact-laden statement...
The bit that amuses me most about his statement, is the "PS".
Respected people? Huh? To the mis-informed and lazy collector, yes, maybe. Because the lazy and gullible are easy targets and suckers, who will believe anything without question.
By respected people, I wonder if he means TTW, who marketed an HJ knife marked RZM M6/3? Yes, that's right, M6 for aluminium.
And perhaps TMJ, who marketed an HJ knife with a green diamond, (un-attributed as he stated), and sold it to some sucker for $650.
As of today's date, the super rare green diamond HJ knife is still on TMJ's website if anyone is interested.
And BobI, if these are the sort of examples that give these people credibility and respect, well, what can I say?
