opinions on "My Militaria" dealer from Italy

[NickG]

Any opinions on "My Militaria" dealer from Italy, anybody?
This dealer appears to have some very exotic RSI material, (like the RSI paratrooper belt) Any good? Among other things he's got an X Mas Naval helmet with a 2004 "Manions certificate of authenticity"...not sure if that's a good sign...(already sold)

Here are 2 links: (uniforms and insignia)

Can't help with his Italian stuff as it's out of my field, but I can comment on his German items & his service as I've dealt with him a couple of times.

He has some nice original pieces & some others that I wouldn't want in my collection, so as with any dealer you need to know your stuff.

Service wise I've found him good to do business with, items are always packed well & he posts them out quickly.

Cheers

Tons of fakes in his German area. Some real bad repros being passed off as original with BS COA’s and faked groupings. I would not trust the guy.

( Dear ) NTZ, instead to spit out your sentences without any proofs, why you don't explain to all us which items are fakes in your opinion? Since nobody is infallible it's possible that I could be in fault but I surely would be grateful to everybody who advises me about, so that I could take away the item. In the meantime I've sold tons of German items and in three years I have been requested to get back an item of mine only once and that item was a Dachau dogtag wich was been expertised by Matt Lukes.
So, because I'm confident in Matt experience, I've put this item again on my website. Finally, I guarantee all my items for life so, don't be afraid and buy on my website with confidence!

What do you mean with that? I'm still personally sure that this badge is original and I'm also sure to know a lot of thing more about RSI than Thomas. Nobody is perfect and nobody can know all about everything. I'm an historic researcher more than a dealer so that I don't fear to confront myself with anyone when I'm sure to be right.

The visor on the homepage is a 100% obvious fake...

This visor comes from Spree Militaria with its COA. If you can prove that it's a fake ( not only telling "100% obvious fake" ) I'll thank you and send it back to the German dealer. I know him as a serious dealer and I've no doubt it will refund me.
That could only confirm that every honest dealer can have some bad item among hundred of those he is selling. I think that doesn't exist a dealer who is an expert in all the items connected with "militaria" while there are many collectors, like you, who are true experts in one or a few sectors. I believe that forums exist for this. The seriousness of a dealer is not measured then by one fake he sold in good faith but by his willingness to take it back and refund the buyer. This IMHO.

Nothing to add, now anyone is able to make his own opinion about your position.

Quite agree with you, so do not offer another postwar FJ badge by Souval claiming it as original period !
