Please, can we stop this bickering and unprofessional airing of our somewhat dirty laundry to the masses and the new, novice collectors who are trying to learn that their is a great interest in WWII German edged weapons and it is not a field of interest composed of crooks and pretenders. Fred, you of all people should know that discourse among the educated should be discussed and not cussed in public at best. And Craig, pull back and accept that not everyone will believe in every piece, regardless of the paper trail. Let's pull together and be civilized and end this debate as at least respected authorities in an area of collecting that already has some opponets in the public can end discussion on a positive note.
