I thought the photo was nice. It shows how these guys make them by hand, which is rather interesting. Looks like my kind of job!

Do any of you have contacts in the US Air Force? I would like to see a Hellfire missle from a MQ-1 Predator slammed down RIGHT between those two. :cussing:
 
Fortunately, though, the product is nowhere near accurate enough to sucker anyone who has had access to good reference material.

My eight-year-old gets a kick out of picking apart fake Pickelhauben on eBay. That's a good boy.

I absolutely love these! I had never seen these pictures before! This is a riot. What they need to do is show you some of these unfortunate people trying to put mercury gilding on the Wappen.

Gus, I married her–best move I ever made.
 
Hey Joe, you are still dating her, and I thought you were issued to her, anyway, you are right, she is the best.
