The Hero's Fabrik never stops, soon we will see Prada bags and Cartier Watches...

In the end, it appears as though the gmvk I posted here may have been the work of the hero. It is a very, very good fake! So much to the extent that I have resolved to abandon any attempts to secure an original gmvk.Comment

Never heard of him

Greg, float up to the badges forum and do a search for the Hero. He is going to kill the hobby.
Art, don't give up. Perhaps the German authorities don't care about him faking TR stuff but hopefully they will take umbrage with him doing Imperial.pseudo-expertComment

Don,
You think he is a producer? I have a feeling he is the front man. If we whack him someone else will take his place. But maybe he needs a gentle talkiing to?

In Spain, to sell a piece like old, not being it, is described like swindle crime.

The biggest problem with the "hero" is that he mixes in genuine items. I've seen him on auction sites bid and win genuine stuff, he he knows what he's doing when it comes to authenticity. If he only sold fakes though, everything would be "OK" - he'd just be lowlife scum. What makes this guy such mongrel b*stard though is that his genuine items become suspicious, or worse, called fakes, because of their source. I will have to laugh when he tries to sell his collection - everyone will think everything is FAKE and he will rightly get bugger all for it. Serves him right for scr*wing so many people over the years.
Regards
Mike
PS: I do hope he reads this. I know he won't have the balls to respond though - cowards hide in the dark.Regards

Evaluate the item, not the story and not the seller's reputation!

Ok guys, who is the "hero"? What's the story?Comment

See the invoice above - that has all his details.Originally posted by Steve Campell View Post
The hero reference comes from his original MilWeb username - "DerAfrikaHeld" (the African Hero). He is one of the major peddles of good quality TR fakes (IABs, GABs, PABs, etc), and the new fakes tend to pop up through him very early on. As far as I can figure, he now has multiple usernames. He also has a website (I don't have it bookmarked, and I refuse to link it - the last thing that pimp needs is free advertising). I'm pretty sure he is active on eBay as well (don't ask me for his username though).

What's funny about how he spells his last name is the combined AE is actually an old english rendition of a now non existant letter sound. In his quest to be "original" and "unique" he really looks like an idiot.

Oh, dear!
Doesn’t he realize that some people, when purposely sold bad goods, are not satisfied with the return of their money and an apology.
This is not good.
