Fake stamp" Mitchell" cover

[crassou54]

Hello all.

 

Am French collector of U.S Vietnam war militaria ( and all era 1890 to 1916), i know the reproduction touch all areas of the collection , but , as i suspected, the "mitchell" cover are now made white a realistic contrat stamp and can be misleading . I didn't have any on and , but it looks "dangerous, recently seen on eBay.

These have been around for awhile, the stamp has definitely improved but these reproduction covers are easy to spot for experienced collectors.

 

Unfortunately I have seen a few brand new reproductions being sold as "mint unissued NOS" and have sold for good money. 

 

If anything I am glad they're out because now reenactors and airsofters can write Born to Kill on a reproduction vs an original cover.
