Folks,

It got all quiet around here all of a sudden. Just to let you guys know, I got an email from Ratisbons thanking us for notifying them that this ring is a copy and for giving them the opportunity to withdraw it from the auction. Nice to know that there are some organisations that put integrity before profit.

I agree. There were just too many problems with that ring to openly declare it to be good. After Antonio provided the assessment and pointed out problems, put the nail in the coffin. Power to the forum and members who prevented this item from the market. If it surfaces again, at least we will know what to look for. Ron
