New collector, offered 'as new' skull and eagle set

[Ian Hulley]

Don't bother, they are fake.

Yes, they are ... almost always were right from the off as we said BUT our new friend has no-doubt already learned lessons and studying the pieces again and taking photographs will help him further and possibly others.

Just keep your wallet firmly in your pocket.

My Austrian aluminium versions from the 1970's at least looked real!
Try again - good luck,

I agree but when you are just beginning it all looks the same. He needs to put in some serious study time to see the difference.

You did well to consult the members on here first, they are bad, really bad.

Those are fakes from the late 90's to mid 2000, they used to be found on all the usual Latvian-made fake caps on eBay.

The eagle was nicknamed 'Hal' by some wit after the character on The Muppet Show.
