Dmitry, you had a bad experience with one set of "experts". If there was another problem on the show in the past with some other arms appraisers it would seem that it ran it's course and their scam was revealed. You have made an accusation of suspected shilling for which you have no proof. Even if this were the case this does not translate into "many, if not most" &*% experts being scam artists. I am not surprised however that their "experts" are not well versed on every kind of edged weapon or firearm that crosses their path, but i see no malice in that. It is to be expected. It should also be noted the the vast majority of what shows up on the show is NOT weapons related at all and that many of the folks that show up have no intention of selling their "treasures" so i hardly think that dealers are "filling the catalogs for the auctions they run" from this show.
This discussion is now waaaaay off topic. I strongly suggest it ends here and we get back to discussing this kris. If you have an axe to grind i would suggest you do it elsewhere.
