Thread: Trending, a word I dislike

In any other antique area you alter the item and you alter the price drastically for the worse. So why are we spending huge amounts for a Wade & Butcher with non period G-10 scales and stacked washers? It just doesn't add up.
Do we close a blind eye because its pretty? If that's the case were no better then raccoons, There drawn to shiny objects as well.
I was one of those who went for the shiny razors with the tricked out scales in the beginning, I'm now atoning for my sins and have been replacing those bight colored G-10 scales for period correct horn.
If your gonna have it have it right!!!!
