<HTML>Hi Michael,
Thanks for the info. I learnt something new as I had no idea that the diamonds on the Knight\'s Cross were real. I really thought they were just shaped and were meant to look like diamonds for symbolic purposes.
But yes, you are right. That business is a difficult one and I am not going to participate too much in it. I mean, there is a guy from England selling autographed pictures by the double dozen! I don\'t know about that, seems phoney. He\'s just making money out of it. I just saw it and thought it was interesting for a topic in here.
Thanks for the info and insight!
Best wishes,
