If dealers of repro items were only selling these items as fillers or to be used by reenactors they would not have an issue clearly marking these pieces as "COPY". They may be selling them as a repro but as time goes by and they change hands all of a sudden they are original. Seems that some dealers don't care if an item is real or fake , they are only concerned with what will pass as an original. These dealers are the first cog in what amounts to FRAUD. I wouldn't buy a repro because you are only adding fuel to the fire. Wake up guys, if no one bought this crap they wouldn't make it, you're all to blame. Who wants to pollute their collection with questionable stuff anyway, not me. Those are just my thoughts.
