The beef.... is that we lost a $2250.00 sale, because of comments & innuendo that were posted on this forum. And, someone took our photographs from our auction and posted them here, without our permission! It took forum members a few days to sort out what we already knew, that the group was legit. Why did we already know it was legit? Because we did our homework before we tried to sell the group. That meant several hours checking measurements, weights, looking in our reference books, going to a certain excellent Russian site, checking dates on serial numbers, etc. No, we didn't purchase them from the family, and why does that matter? The items should always stand on their own merits. No "story" should be more important than the actual items.
Meanwhile, the high bidder saw your discussion (not the conclusion), and decided to back out. This occurred after we already had this up for sale a few days before, and a hacker stole someone's account and that sale was voided. So, we're a little miffed that on trying to sell it yet again, it is voided yet again. Sorry if we sound a little harsh, but wouldn't you be upset if someone ruined a Two Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollar Sale for you? I think you would be. Again, we believe in this forum, but you must be careful in posting comments when you have no idea what you're talking about (we're referring to the comment about the line through the 7's in the serial no & the April 1943 date in the booklet). Perhaps the moderator or owner may want to set some new forum rules?
