ebay fakes

The hideous fakes don't bother me as much as those designed to fool. Here's an example that is always on ebay.

I bet a lot of people have bought these thinking they were WWII vintage.

It can be worse. I would still consider myself a babe in the woods when it comes to 3R and have been fooled several times, so I probably shouldn't throw stones. However, I was truly amazed to see this cap bring $350 at an auction I attended yesterday. I don't think it was ever meant to be a fake, it was just somebody creating something to wear to a costume party.
