Counterfeiting Antique Cutlery by Gerald Witcher, National Knife Collectors Association (1997, Paperback, Illustrated)

I decided to start collecting Vintage fixed blade knives this year. Being an avid coin collecter, I made many mistakes early on in my purchases. I later purchased books on values and counterfiting, This helped me to be able to improve my quality purchaseing and avoid costly mistakes ( Bought a set of couterfit trade dollars early on ). This book treats knifes the same way with very detailed descriptions and pictures of many popular manufacturers. While nothing can take the place of years of experience, this book can give you a big head start. Writtren in a very understandable manner. It also imparted to me Mr. Witcher`s passion for these knifes. This is a book I will constantly use as a reference guide, before and after purchases. The ebay seller was great in supplying great pictures and desciption of this item and speedy shipping. I hope all ebay shoppers can find as significant a purchase. sincearly yours Joe Miller San Francisco CA. drjoe-silver-surfer
