Words fail me.

At least the seller is honest about it and selling it as a repro. I actually bought one of these, only the 1939 version by the same maker, for $25. Some would say it's a waste of money, but it has a place as a repro example in an EK collection. These are one piece from a type of nickel alloy.
The Latvian ones are more dangerous. They are 3 piece, magnetic, and are hard to tell as a repro from a photo scan. They come in 1939, 1914, 1870, and in screwback and pinback, vaulted, flat, marked 800 or 900. Really quite a variety.

I haven't been watching much recently, but they were sold at about 15DM from German ebay sellers a few months ago. (Honestly listed as well.) Good warning Bill.
