Re: Combat Report Forgeries

Andy,

I am no expert on artifacts so won't offer any opinion on whether this is the genuine article or not particularly as I cannot handle it. However, it does describe documented historical events accurately which I hope will come as some relief to its present owner. The actual date is September 2, 1940, which is shown as a Roman two rather than Arabic. This confusion has been further compounded by the rubber-stamped date indicating September 11. However, it strikes me that a forger would be pretty stupid to blatantly fabricate events rather than simply stick to the facts.
