Beware of Fake Guns on Auction Websites UPDATED
I have removed the article published here. Our policy is only to post unique content. I was not aware that this article had been distributed to a number of bloggers at the same time.
You readers also made it clear you did not like the underlying message of the article. My reason for posting this was to educate people to be careful what they buy, not to attack any one company.
Fake vintage guns are not different to artwork and antiques, fakes abound. Be careful.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

I missed whatever happened her. But what I see in the aftermath is that TFB:
1) Has high journalistic standards
2) Listens to and respects readership opinions
3) Is not ego bound, and can be flexible vs needing to be right.
Good on ya' mates.
You must have met DIS-Honest Dave, at your local Gun Show.
