I found this interesting WWII photograph for auction on eBay: [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2123658106[/url] I was interested in possibly buying it, and wanted to make sure it was not a newpaper clipping, but a real photograph. It's difficult to tell sometimes from eBay listings. So I had the following exchange of humorous emails with the seller: ME: Hello, Is this a photograph or a clipping from a newspaper? Can't tell from your listing. Thanks. HIM: please re--read and even again please!!!! Charles E. Snyder, Jr., Major, USAF (Retired) ME: No need to be a prick, fella. A simple yes or no would have sufficed. One can not always trust listings to be accurate. HIM: & fuck off 2 U fella!! Guess I won't be bidding on this item. [rolleyes] |

Quoted: I just sent him an email asking if it was an authentic picture....I think the whole AR15.com army should ask him [:D] An excellent idea! In fact he invites questions. Please use my email address [email protected] to contact me directly if you have any questions. By all means post some of the replies.

Here's mine! Is that a REAL photograph or a newspaper clipping? Also the only real "Garand With Bayonet Armed GI" isnt helping! Are you sure the one holding out his hand isnt carrying a carbine? That buttplate looks kind of small to me. I would hate to buy a photograph of "Garand With Bayonet Armed GI" helping, and then find out I had bought a newspaper clipping of some looey with a carbine! That will teach him to mess with Marvl! |

"cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2123658106 So, like, dude, like is this thing, like, for real? Is it an actual photographic print, or like, some scuzzy newpaper clipping? I mean, whoa, far out-the thing is really friggin trippy! I'm prepared to bid, like, a total a$$load of money if it's for real, but if it's a clipping, call it kwitz, d00d." [:D] I suspect he's gonna get real tired of this soon.[;D] Juggernaut |

Quoted: Heeeeeeeere we go..... [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2123607229[/url] If ebay thinks it is ok, I hope the mods here do. Here is my question to the guy... "Are the girls in this photo over the age of 18? You're not R Kelly by any chance are you? Is this all the girlie pics you have? You don't have any of any French chicks do you?" Now awaiting a response... |

Heres my latest! Are you sure those Jap girls are over 18? I might buy that one if I could be sure, but I cant take the chance of getting busted for kiddie porn and getting my pornograph confiscated! Do you have any other porn of maybe Vietnam girls? PS: Is that a REAL picture? Or is it cut out of a newspaper? |

I just asked him: regarding item # 2123607229 Is the picture in color or black and white. Depending on your scanner who knows?- from my perspective. I like pink nipples- he he he |

Quoted: Stay away from Charlie Snyder, he is a known rip-off artist of WWII items. |

I just got a response from my question. My questions: Hello, the term "Period News Photograph" is somewhat confusing. Is this a photograph taken for a newspaper or is this a clipping of a photograph from a newspaper. His answer: the words you are confused over mean just that.. this is a period..ie ww2..news..ie used in a newspaper..from this photograph.....if still unclear please call and we can discuss... Followed by some contact info including "Major, USAF (Retired)" behind his name. You be the judge. |
