Any original m2 with Airborne unit markings would be super pricey

This is why you don't buy military relics from people who sell tableware and T-shirts.

He even hints that he "doesn't know if the markings are from WWII or "later" and yet the idiots are bidding like lunatics on it. Yet Another over priced piece of common junk soon to be the defiantly defended centerpiece treasure in some fool with too much money and not enough brains's collection. A future headache for some poor slob to try to cash in and money out his inherited fortune that Great Uncle Donald, who was a Big time collector left him in his Will when he just died....How Dare you try to lie to him and cheat him out of this incredible rare and priceless marvel...Thankfully, I won't be around to See it....

The Captain's bars on it are a modern/recent type with
subdued black paint finish. At least the first two
bidders had the sense to bid low.........
