It's junk, who's selling it?

'I do not think we can hope for any better thing now.
We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker of course, and the end cannot be far.
It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more. R. SCOTT.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

The link that Paul has added to this thread is enough to highlight that these pieces are incorrect. I hope that you didn't buy (or bid on), this item Normandie. Take note of the form, the artificial colouration and damage to the wood, the cheap brassy metal around the head of the stamp and quite often the script on the stamp itself is incorrect. These have been made for many years now, mostly in Poland, and they can be found bearing markings from anything such as a simple bold SS runes stamp, to a highly detailed (and accurate) marking for the post control room at KZ Gross-Rosen. Whatever the markings though, these all have one thing in common...they are not good. For original ink stamp examples, view the thread linked above, or visit "The Ruptured Duck" website, where many original pieces can be found. If I can find the images, I will post a few original examples later this week.
Regards,
Carl
The aged wood looks quite convincing to me. What are the signs that wood has been artificially aged?
