In some of the related threads two years ago �argumentum ad hominem� was a standard practice/tactic. If I remember it correctly, a relatively lengthy public apology was issued by one of the participants during the discussion at one point. So far by comparison this thread is much milder.

It�s very much a guessing game just what is being reported with the badly pitted �H�hnlein" dagger blade mentioned. Unfortunately I didn�t find a digitized version of artificially aged counterfeit fake gun markings that I could post. Although we do already have at least one example (with the cast in place �Gahr� marked silver fittings) where something went wrong somewhere in the signature application process.
