Sticker Shock

I spent part of the morning going through 30-some pages of Krag related 'GunBroker' listings.
I don't do this often, anymore and prices are pretty scary.
The duplicity of some listings and creativity of description displayed by some vendors is truly amazing.
I didn't see any bargains or anything I had a strong urge to own!
A couple of oddities caught my attention:
A "Cuban" stock marking on a Krag, that the vendor acknowledges to be fake.
An R.F. Sedgley Krag Sporter that appears to never have been completed. (IMHO - The photo taken of the bore reveals it to be not so good).
It doesn't cost to look, and it is mental exercise unraveling the hype and mysterious origins of some items that are listed.
