<p>[QUOTE="the blacksmith, post: 9421488, member: 20148"]It is sad that just about everything is faked these days. I have even seen in my own field of edged weapons, a WWII British No. 4 'Spike' bayonet, probably made in India or China, but with all the relevant stamps etc. Genuine examples are perhaps $30 -$35. And with over 5.5 million originals being made, they are not, on the whole, scarce. Is it worth it, well obviously, somebody thinks it is.......</p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie40" alt=":depressed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
