From $6000 to $20! Ouch; just goes to show how careful you have to be, if it's worth money some unscrupulous swine will fake it! Thank you for sharing some of your collection, it all helps to bring the era to life.
ReplyDeleteNice fake...cotton pickin' Blue-Bellies!
ReplyDeleteI bet the guy who paid 6k for the flag was a little upset??
ReplyDeleteExcellent buy on the flag. Losing 6K would hurt, the poor dude!
ReplyDeleteTheres a guy on Ebay who sells guides on fake civil war items...swords, flags etc. This flag is in his fake flag guide. he says the guy who bought this is still suffering from rectal bleeding. I wonder how pissed he would be if he knew I just bought it for $20.00.
ReplyDeleteWow! Some great looking items there Captain. Love your collection and wish I could get a few pieces together for my own den.
ReplyDeleteGreat collection Captain!
