ANOTHER Ruined Piece of History on EBAY!! CHROMED!!!???

[zwerge]

Vets have been chroming their souvenirs for a long time,the bayo I showed is WW1 and dated 1917. But I agree they ruined a nice collectable.

Well, I guess its one way for a Vet to preserve or even show off his war trophies. I guess I have always thought of any "modern modification" to historical collectibles as wrong. It definitely looks pretty neat, but for some reason it just doesnt feel right.

Well,you know what they say, Jedem Das Seine..

I bet Ade's correct. I think there's a strong liklihood that the piece was chromed by the Allied GI, or perhaps the offspring on the vet. Interesting piece.
