Perhaps JanJan, but your belief the other way is also only a feeling. You have offered no clear proof they are original period inserts.
A good example would be the army daggers marked Weirsburg, Berlin. Can anyone prove they are not period. Is there some factory invoice that has been presented that proves to everyone in the world they are produced after the war. And no doubt there are people who believe they are original. But the consensus is they are not.
So, this is like all markets. Many people believe the sold diamond is not correct and will not pay for the knife. You, on the other hand get the benefit of a reduced price because demand is down. You can then make the argument that you are the only intelligent person because you are buying it, it is original, and you got a reduced price.
It just does not make it true.
So, Jan Jan. Perhaps you can answer my question. What happened to the thousands of Hitler Youth knives that we denazified in the east block?
