Buyer Beware when buying "historical" items

LOL....The other day I was at the gun shop (specializes in older weapons and such) and this guy comes in with a shadow box with a chunk of wood in it and tries to sell what he claimed was a chunk of wood from the Dunker Church.

Looked like a old chunk of wood with a bit of whitewash on it to me.....It was all we could do not to laugh him out of the place but he's a regular that spends a lot on money there so we refrained and laughed after he left.

You have to be really careful these days when going to buy historical items.

If it doesn't have spotless provenance, don't touch it.

In the Middle Ages, there were nine heads of John the Baptist in Europe, but only three of them were authentic...
