Assman Para and LWGAB for Review

Larry,

Do you mean this one?

The one really interesting aspect of this was that they had a really nice Puma Army Dagger they had labeled as fake. I felt like it was one of the few original items they had.

PO is a fake, observer is a fake, bomber good one.

Sebastien,

Thanks for the review and comments. I will pass that on to my friend Bill Huber who asked me to post them. Need someone to give a on the KM Auxiliary Cruiser.

Hubert,

Thank you for taking the time to comment....I posted it in the KM forum as well with a comment of my own that I thought it was a fake.

Hi Bill,

I agree with the fellas, both the PO and Observer are pretty clear fakes. The Bomber is a good one though, no red flags that I can see.

Larry,

Do you mean this one?

Yes, that one. In hand I couldn't find anything wrong with it. Maybe a parts piece, but based on the other items offered, why label this as fake when it was way closer to being okay than most of the other stuff they had.

Larry....I went to the Estate Sale and didn't buy anything from the seller who attached himself to the actual Estate sale...along with a separate gun sale as well. Everything was priced over the top!! The puma Army Dagger was not marked as a repro and priced at $650...LWGAB $450 and Bomber Clasp $800, GAB $250 and all the fakes identified here were being sold as originals with higher than normal prices for originals. There were two other items I was interested in but when I saw the price I thought this guy was nuts....FN Model 22 Browning pistol with a really beat up holster for $1,000 and a M24 Stahlhandgrenate for $450. The guy obviously was depending on those with less knowledge about Militaria to buy this crap. The only thing I managed to pick up that was not associated with this crook was a 98K Bayonet with scabbard that was in one of the Estate Sale houses for $40. My buddy did pick up a good and unique SS Wehrpass with entries for SS Wachtbattlion Prag $175. So beware of Collector Roadshow www.collectorsroadshow.net
