Ignorance is bliss
« on: July 21, 2017, 04:48:49 PM »
I'm not going to name names, but it amazes me, on a regular basis, the imagination used on some web pages when describing their relics.  Obviously I get more outraged when I see this in regards to bullets.  You might thing there are practically no reference books available if so many bullet specimens are "unlisted".  But the specimen that sparked this particular outburst from me is  a fairly common Federal bullet specimen that is listed as Confederate because it looks slightly different. Well guess what?  It is FIRED!  Yet, some numb-nut will buy it (or should I say buy the story)...and I suppose that is the sellers plan.

Rant over!
