Maybe so.I have known him longer than you and Sid who was a cranky "Gem".
BUT,he still as I said earlier passes duds and frequently.It is part of his nature.
Doesnt give a s*** one way or the other. So no more ..please...

I have known Malcolm for over 25 years, and his Father. What I have from him is 100%.
It may be true that others have not been so fortunate, however, I do not think Malcolm would knowingly pass on bad items. His reputation is well known to many as very trustworthy.

Robert he does sell good stuff but bad out weighs the good that is for sure. Why don’t you post the generals in the headgear section? If the blind squirrel did find a nut I would like to see it.

[luftwaffe blue]

Clearly you have never had any dealings with him. He has had some of the rarest items left from that period. Including Emil Maurice collection which you all have orgasms over....

Really???? trying reading my posts!! i think you,ll find ive stated at least three cases..i could sell rare items if i made my money selling dubious items too, as i said if your 100% confident as you state keep on rolling Mr..

Earlier on this Thread I mention where a friend of mine bought a U-Boat Badge from Malcolm and it turned out to be a Fake. He ran into Malcolm at the SOS show and showed him the Badge and asked for a refund …Malcolm looked at the Badge and walked away without saying a word.
Well ..I told him about this Thread and he asked me to post pictures of it.

Can't do very much about Dealers like this , they are everywhere. I think the Used Car Dealer mentality is wearing off and thanks to our Forums , we know who to watch.

If you dont research your piece and if your that dumb to buy something like this, then you deserve to be ripped off.
Buyer beware.

Nice try but ...He ordered one Badge but was sent this one instead ..that's a big part of the problem. BUT ..I'm sure it was an honest mistake after all , you've dealt with him for 25 years and he's a SAINT right ? Wait a minute ...you've been defending him but now you're saying my friend deserved to be ripped off ? ..so let me get this straight, you're now saying that we CAN'T Trust this guy and whatever one buys from him should be researched because he does sell Fakes ?
What changed your mind ? ..did you let Nick (NTZ) look under the Hood of some of your Visors and learn something new about them ?

ease up and sit down

It's one thing to defend a dealer and another to say a fellow collector deserves to be ripped off.
There's no need for that.
Defend your "boy" with facts ..don't strike out at anyone because of your frustration.
You're not doing Malcolm any favors here ...the more you Howl , the more we look at him. And now I'm even starting to wonder how within a year of my posting my Plessen ID , Malcolm's FANTASTIC Plessen Group "Appears" out of thin air ..and a prototype custom set to boot ...hmmm , interesting.
He's already shown how creative and handy he can be ..makes you wonder.

All dealers pass on fakes at one time or another, unknowingly, it is called the law of averages.
I repeat, if you are that stupid, even as you said, to buy over the phone then more fool you.
Just look at his website, and what he has, and has had. It speaks for itself.
Rudel set, I guess thats just a fantasy......'imo' as some will say... Jealousy is a bad thing.
I am not defending him, he doesnt need me to do that, I know what I have, and its all good. I never saw anything bad when he had his Upper Street store, did you? oops, some of you americans probably never even saw it.

Did you ever see in the "Back Room" or The Basement with all the Uniforms in
various stages of "Refurbishment"?
Or meet any of the "Restorers" who came in during the week???

Good one Seiler!
All I know is all my English collector colleagues have told me to avoid "Regimentals" like the plague.
However I'm sure on occasion he must sell an original unaltered piece that doesn't require "restoration".
And after hearing Mike's friends experience it is clear that once you bought it, you GOT IT...NO REFUNDS!
So when he gets your hard earned money and you discover that the "gem" is a "turd", that's your tough luck? Your moneys gone into Malcom's "Hip National Bank". Never to come back out again with a "Sorry Mate, that one slipped by me". And you say that is OK, cause YOU should know what your buying?

How about this one....HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S SELLING AND HE SELLS CRAP THAT HE CLAIMS IS "GOOD". THE MAN IS A DISCRACE!

Also one last question: Does Malcom have a brother here in the states named Charlie Snyder?

Nice one.. you let your guard down there didnt you

[Seiler]

Hi Serge,
Strange you should ask that.
When I was on my first tour here,Charlie was a regular visitor to the London shop and he and his wife were resident at the Fisher Manor frequently.
(Still wearing that HAT!!!)

Hello Seiler.
I knew it! Thanks!

Your not defending him? Your doing a fairly inadequate job of it thus far Bundeswehr tallies, adding on insignias, fake KM badges etc etc etc etc keep it up! dont let facts get in the way of you and Saint Malcolm
