Hello,

I saw these on a US dealer's site. The first is a VERY scary eagle as it is a fine copy of a known pattern, BUT lime green on a round blank...........I don't think so:

The next is a fairly nice copy of the 5 feather "bauhaus" eagle, but look at the fat body and badly formed wings. These are getting way too close.

BEWARE!!!!

Regards,
Bill Unland

Dear Gary,

OUCH.............that will fool 90% of us. That is a VERY good copy. Time to go back to stamp collecting I'm afraid.

Bill & Gary, the waters are becoming awful murky out there with these new & improved repros. Thank goodness we have the forum to help keep up with this as these will certainly cause problems in the near future. Thanks for posting!
