I couldn't agree more. I feel like I am finally learning something on this subject. Thanks, Rick.

Thanks, Rick!

You've done a lot to dispel the resentment many of us "unwashed" have had for many years over the fact that a small number of "experts" have held knowledge too closely to their chest.

I realize it's a fine line between educating Fakers, but it's also important to get that knowledge out to the collector community so they won't spend years and many thousands of dollars learning the ropes.

I think you have set an excellent example for others to follow.

I must say, having watched this process for over a decade now, on Jouster and other forums, this is a good turning point.

Thanks guys I appreciate it.

Ok # 7 is a Fake also. This one when looking at it at a show or by itself can be a hard one also as they burned it in to give it the aged look. The key here is the letters height is how I lined these two up and that shows allot of differences in size before you even start to compare other points of this one. Rick B

Thanks for the education. Now I need to look over some stocks I have.

Speaking of "Burned in", I recall going to a gun show 15 years ago and the guy was selling Garands with what looked like burned cartouches. Since I used to use those wood-burning pencils and tools in the '50s and '60s, I kinda knew the look. They were pretty obvious to me, but I guess they worked with some folks.

But the burned look can be very deceiving if done properly, with some additional burnishing...
