Seeing a 1/3" piece of Richthofen's hair selling on eBay gave me an idea: someone could buy one of the pieces of documented fabric from 425/17 that are available on the web for around $5,000, cut it into approximately 1/8" x 1" strands and sell each at an affordable price. I know I can't justify $5,000, but I could justify spending $100.00, and I would be willing to pay it for even a small sliver of fabric from Richthofen's Fokker Dr.I. One piece of fabric I saw available was 5" x 1 3/4". From that swatch, you could cut about 70 strands at 1/8" x 1". Package each one in a nice little coin-size display holder with a C.O.A. and sell them for $100.00. You make more than your investment back, and make a lot of people happy at the same time. The only thing is, it wouldn't seem quite right to essentially destroy the original piece of fabric in the process. What do others think?
