Iv seen one legit site where the guy takes repro shells and agees them ,in some cases to the buyers taste .you want an aged russian front whitewashed helmet ,you got it.i think they are even calling themselves artists.in many cases frankly they do a good job.my main gripe is they should be clearly marked repro and any honest seller would want to do this anyway ,if he claims his buisness is legitamate.ps i mean marked in such a way thats its impossible to erase the mark!!
