That ebay seller name is very familiar to me. I believe he is a forum member. So that being said, I would guess they are legit. [Wink]

Jim - These are "kosher" DVD's. They were released by Keith Wilton, who organises the British Film Collectors Convention amongst may other "film" pursuits, originally on VHS videoin the UK. They have since been put out by Keith on DVD.

Very good product and a potted history of 8mm film collecting.

PS the seller is a forum member and a very good eBay seller also.

Some time ago I was interested in these and I asked the seller if they were original and at that time he informed me they were not that they were copies. So, I didn't buy. I am looking for originals. He may be selling originals now...ask him!

We all have a lot to thank Keith for. All his material is highly recommended.

I would recommend getting those titles direct from Keith Wilton through the link above...he does offer a good range of DVDs on the subject of film collecting.
