Fake slings

[Harlan (Deceased)]

Nick was informed they were not authentic some time ago Jim, but I don't think he ever agreed fully. (He just changed his ad to saying he didn't know)
He must have a boatload of them though, because he's been selling them week after week for a very long time. I haven't been checking ebay sales for well over a year and he was listing them with that 'semi'-disclaimer back then.

I think it hurt his credibility some with collectors, but not with some buyers, as I've seen them sell for high dollars.
Strangely, sometimes he'll have more than one listed at the same time and one will sell for a high price with guys bidding against each other and another would go for only a few dollars.

With guys like George making huge bucks by selling fake junk to so many uninformed new carbine owners, I guess it's difficult not to get on the band wagon to make some money.
SAD all the way around regardless.
