Skull
Brad,Originally posted by bwanek1 View Post
It is lucky for you that you did not bid more. The skull arrived yesterday and it is a POS. Made out of soft lead. It is now on its way back to the land down under. I was really fooled by that picture I must admit.

I wouldn't be so fast to gloat if I were you. Similar logic led you to the wrong conclusion about this one:Originally posted by dhunter93 View PostI told you sooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

I don't think you are in a position to lecture to Chris.

It is not that uncommon to see metal shears on the sides of a zinc piece.
They look much different than a cast piece.

Oh I see, the pieces you posted above are good because you say so
First off, I was not lecturing anyone. This is a learning forum and this thread shows that even the sharpest among us can be wrong.
Now more than ever fakes are being accepted as real. I believe part of this phenomenon is because the quality of fakes has gotten better, but more and more collectors are willing to explain away problems with a piece because they want to believe it is real.Comment

I take it that you stand by your condemnation of those pieces, then?Originally posted by dhunter93 View PostOh I see, the pieces you posted above are good because you say so

Well, those uninformed opinions speak much louder about the real level of your "expertise" than does your smart mouth.Originally posted by dhunter93 View PostNothing gets past you...Comment

P.S. wish you would have been the high bidder... you could have had another "real" TK......

I would be the first to admit that I am far from infallible, particularly when making an assessment based solely on photographs (the TK that is the subject of this thread is certainly proof of that). However, that being said, I am as certain as I can possibly be given the limitations of this medium that those other two pieces of insignia, which you declare to be fake, are absolutely authentic. That may not mean anything to you and I really couldn't care less. You are welcome to whatever opinion you like. I point them out not to convince you of anything, but to illustrate to others here how little real knowledge you have to back up your big mouth.Originally posted by dhunter93 View PostYes, oh great informed one, I hear and will obey!
