    Adolf Galland kc in a auction?

    I just got the new rock island auction catalog and they have a KC and the dealer says he was given it to him by Adolf Galland. It is in the Sept auction. The cross looks like it is a dipping ring kc . Cliff

      Who's the dealer who told them that story? Charles Snyder? He has at least ten knights crosses/oaks with swords he attributes to Galland.

          The whole package plus the story is rubbish.

            I agree the opening bid is $18,000 . It doesn't say who the dealer is . Cliff

                The opening bid should be $180,000.

                    Will be interesting to see what their "Assortment of Paperwork and Related Materials" are. Did they list those?

                    Nevermind.... here it is, it comes with "a signed and sealed certification from Charles Snyder Jr, retired Air Force officer and militaria dealer, declaring that he received this Knight's Cross personally from Galland on a visit to his home".

                    Run Forrest runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnn!!!!

                          Hi,

                          I knew KC's Galland ( with other decorations ) were by himself and now I think to his family.....

                            The problem here is really two-fold:
                            - the first question is whether this set is really Galland's, and
                            - secondly, are the Knights Cross and the Swords real?

                            Since the second question can be answered by everybody who has looked even remotely close to real pieces with a clear "No!", the first question is moot.

                            How an auction house, who even has a remote interest in their own reputation, can come up with such an offer is beyond me. By the time it took them to come up with the romantic description they could have found out what a stupid fake they have on hand. That was not that easy in the 1990s to find out, but there is no excuse nowadays. None!

                            What's left is this: a nice and elaborate description and a handy comission if sold. And a COA from Snyder! And maybe, only maybe, sombody who might be taken for a big chunk of money!
                            All in the eyes of the community!
