It's not just me, there are several victims, big names in collectors' world amongst them. The case has taken a serious turn since I was able to reveal a case of supposed fraud on behalf of the Scottish government, same chap involved. I can not say more since the investigation is going on at...

My pleasure, the web is full of surprises. Johan

Very different though from those proposed by spikehelmets. Johan

Lining is missing as usual, these were made of very thin and fragile calf leather, not the normal thicker cow leather. http://cgi.ebay.fr/CASQUE-DE-CUIRASSIER-BELGE-/181068679077?pt=FR_JG_Collections_Militaria_Uniformes&hash=item2a2888c7a5" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Johan

You are right Adler. Anyone who wants can PM me and I will give more information. In the summer of 2011 he visited me, friends and family in Belgium for almost a week and we visited many places of interest, including Waterloo. During those visits, he convinced me that he was a man with good...

For sure. The story goes further, I explain. On this forum, I_wonder posted originally a thread asking about the origin of what he called masonic hats, pretending to be absolutely uninitiated whatsoever on mitres and German headgear in general. On the other hand, the same I_wonder pretends to be...

You're right, prices are almost equal, except for the plumes that is... Johan

It' so easy to convert a 1. Garde Dragoner helmet into a general's helmet.... Johan

More than just a common liar I think, a whole scenario was set up to launch these spurious mitres in the collector's world. In my whole life I have been confronted just one time before with an equally ingenious plan to sell rare but fraudulent items and that was some 18 years ago. At that time I...

Oh yes they were sold as originals, with a price accordingly high. The seller maintains his position and states they are original. I plan on taking this case as an example and, if necessary, go to court or at least deposit a formal complaint in the hands of the police. This is a case of pure...

Take a look at items 3870 and 3871 in chapter "Orders and International Historical Collectibles up to 1918", last auction at Hermann Historica, they are the same.....again from the same source. Here is what the experts of Hermann Historica sent me: "Yes, the grenadier caps 3870 and 3871 are...

Well, it was in fact the comparison with a new white towel that gave me the shivers. The reflection in the white stripes on the Beutel could be explained because they were cleaned/whitened in recent times, a product like Mr Clean contains also ingredients that can produce this effect, I did the...
