Sorry if this posting exceeds the limit per day ruling (lost count) but the whole debate on "repro" pantographed parts, decals or whatever is complete ly mind boggling. Either it's original, or it's a reproduction/re-creation. If it is specified as being non-original work, that's fine by me as a buye r, I make an informed choice. If it is passed off as original whether by om ission or advertisement and people are buying a reproduction in the mistake n belief that it's the real period thing, and furthermore the maker/seller is perfectly aware of this, it's nothing less than highway robbery. Whateve r the scale of the op. What sort of a world is this that from what I'v e read onlist some guys are making up panto parts and passing them as original period panto, and nobody has hung 'em by whatever one hangs crooks by ?
