Hello All
Been ages since I was on this forum. Ok a bit of a pre story here. I have been collecting Militaria for the last 50 years, and yes I am old, and like everyone else I have been burned on different purchases. Now I purchased a Cigarette Case with a My Honour is my Truth of something like that attached to the lid. I had various "experts" look at it and all seemed to think I had the real thing, I also had just the Death Head pin/bar which was also declared real by no less than four experts at the War and Peace show in 2007. Another thing I had was a Totenkopf belt buckle, once again it was real according to various people at the War and Peace Show. Now I am short of cash at present and decided to sell these items on a Militaria forum in Australia, all was going well right up until I received two messages, one from a person I didn't know but was very aggressive toward me, and another message from a calm nice person telling me I had fakes for sale. I was stunned to say the least, and quickly removed them from the forum. The angry fellow seems to think it was his personal duty to be nasty and is now facing Cyber charges from the Police. Sorry this is such a novel but I would like the experts on the site to tell me Fake or not. I will try to attach some photos. Also the Honour bar has been engraved with some HJ stuff and to be honest this could have happened as a lot of Officers were seconded to the HJ from different SS Units
Ok I have tried to attache photos but am photo attaching challenged can anyone help. Cheers
