<p>[QUOTE="the blacksmith, post: 4283211, member: 20148"]A collector of long standing told me some years back, that if you can chip the decal with your thumb nail, don't touch it. Evidently the real decals were baked on and do not flake off when treated like that. So I was informed. The other thing that rings bells with me, not that I am any kind of expert on these things I must admit!, is the width of the border on the decals. they appear to be far to wide for my liking. Those that I have seen tend to have a quite narrow border to the decal, perhaps only a couple of mm's or so. These are much wider.</p><p>Just my two cents![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
