This guy's back with several items...
What do you think of this one?

I'm pretty sure someone will bring up his Saxon Tchapka as well...
 
Hey Ron

This one overall gives me a bad feeling. I think those chinscales look fake, the rosette with the monogram looks really bad to me. There is what looks like a punched hole on the wing of the wappen. And this seller always gives me a bad feeling.
 
Feedback on Ebay only shows within the last year, he has a lot of negative feedbacks prior to this, most of us now know to stay away from this seller, the people buying now do not know any better, IMO
 
Every week this seller has some "amazing" headgear for sale, unless he has been slowly selling off his own collection over the years there is no way he could be finding good stuff and selling it on ebay at that rate. It just doesn't make sense.
 
If a helmet is too good to be true than it usually is. However, I agree with Ron that someone is willing to buy these helmets.

Regards,

Edwin
 
Items that this guy is selling are giving me headache most of the time too... :twisted:
He´s also not a master in answering questions about his items...

There's a sucker born every minute.
 
Well it's already past the $935 notch with 15 bidders, 6 days to go, and a reserve not met! :o

Here's an OR M1895 (first advertised as Officer M1899 then adjusted to M1897) that looks genuine to my rookie eyes:

Hi Ron,

The domed rivets wich retain the spike seem to be wrong, also the black circular plate at the underside of the spike appears to be missing...

You're right Karel, the black underside plate is missing; hadn't noticed it.
As for the rivets, is it because they seem too domed/big?
 
There's also a hole in the right wing tip... as if somebody had it hanging on a wall or something. Rather odd to see.

:D Ron
