Wisch
Interestingly there were two daggers on different internet auctionsites at the same time, supposendly from Wisch....
Wisch's son sold his father's military heritage to a trader in Hamburg. The same trader then carried the stuff over to an auction house in the north of Hamburg. Besides the photos and documents, the group then included a mint cased KC, mint cased oakleaves, visor caps, etc. pp.
About 2 years ago, when I was in contact with the son, he wrote me that his fathers group never included any daggers, visors or swords[/B]. Material which appeared in the auction catalogue and even outside on the open market. There are collectors contacting me even today about Wisch's officer's sword, which was sold to them which never existed and I have seen a certificate of authenticity from the same trader certifying that the oakleaves and swords sold to a collector came from the Wisch estate, when Wisch never received any swords award during the war.
Funny even, that when I was at the trader's home many years ago, he told me that Wisch's swords award, which came from the estate was a post-war piece! Yet, to one collector he issued a certificate for a real set supposedly coming from the Wisch estate....
In the end: All fraud and money-making. End of story.
It won't be the last group to be sold off like that. Believe me, there's more to come, more I will not say at this time.
