Good God! Rick, once pointed out, I see it. I knew the "S" were bad.

Let's see if I learned anything...fake - center V of the M is too high. Oh by the way the start for bidding is $900 on Gunbroker

You did good and there is allot wrong with this one. Sad someone will pay big bucks for it. Rick B

I think the worst thing they ever did was blocking people from contacting the bidders. Bidders that don't know should be educated. They should be required to take a course here and learn before bidding!

OK, now even I can see this is a fake...

Thanks, Rick!

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.
