Another prime example of how the unmarked reproduction signs have hurt this hobby!

Pulling this AD I am contacting the guy I purchased from. Please give me details on this sign so I know what is going on. Sorry guys I had no idea. I am totally in the dark. I paid pretty good money to get this sign to.

That really bites that you got taken on that sign, It is the size and that style was never made as an original. Just another reason REPRODUCTIONS have RUINED a hobby, Dated or not they will be burning people for years to come.

I have contacted eBay about these signs many times...thats where almost all of them come from (india via eBay route)...they continue to do nothing...the signs are sold to people in the usa...folks think they are right or people sell them as right...some of these signs have killed the value on originals. Not cool...

I bought it from a guy in the U.S. he must have purchased it from the India route. It looks pretty good but I know fakers do a pretty damn good job. I will be contacting him. WOW I am absolutely floored. Thanks to everyone that caught this I hope I get this handled

"Handmade" is the key word for the phony India seller.That is the sellers out in their description as not being deceptive and not having to say the sign is original.
