Bob: Fred has laid out his opinions, which I can with his permission, summarize:

1) He doesn't like the signature on the blade, believing it to be "unlike" actual Hunlein signatures.

2) He believes the markings on the back of the silver chain version are below the quality standards he expects.

3) He observed the appearance of the NSKK High Leader and a fake "plain bladed" NSKK reproduction, surface at the same time - the late 1970s, I believe. Since the signatures match, he believes they were both made by the same forger.

I don't think there are any more "points" in his theory. I don't mean to put words in Fred's mouth, and hope I've fairly and respectfully summarized his beliefs.
