Jim, you are absolutely correct! There's no doubt that this occured and the 'production' is embraced today.

Don't limit this post war production to metal though...it runs the full spectrum of what we collect!

There are just too many unfortunate people who have bought these 'reproductions' and want to believe that they own a war time item that they tend to drown out the folks who know what went on.....

Cheers,
Dave
