    Those items look liked they've been used quite a bit. I'd love to hear the history behind that.

    Why do I doubt that the seller was smart enough to check to see if the buyer was in fact a vampire...

    we're all doomed now.

    Maybe the kit is a ruse to draw out an interested vampire buyer?

    These things were actually issued by catholic church.

    I wonder where the vampires are today? I mean, if they were so feared back then they must've been somewhat common so where did they all go?

    Vampires are an endangered species and protected under Federal Law.

    stormie24, my brother visited Transyvania once and he said they're all back there.

    Someone had a lot of fun creating that hoax.

    Pffft. This is the old stuff. Nowadays vampire hunters use GPS tracking, garlic and holy water sprays, and learn various deadly martial arts techniques...errr...I mean...what vampires!?

    200 years old is it. Funny, it looks just like the 'distressed' kits sold to comic book shops by an RPG company years ago during the Buffy craze. Expensive at the time, but not that much.

    A friend of mine who is an artist has been creating these since the 1950's...still sells them, makes them from scratch to look like they're 100 years old...and much better quality than this phony. Check them out http://stardustmysteries.com/vampirekits.html
