Hi,
Something HAS changed :
- DougB, the second messenger (the first being ZAM) removed his study, disappeared from the internet (or so), and started to sell his impressive collection;
- Hicks and his mafia (seemed that many people know who the 2 to 3 guys who made the helmets for decades are, as far i saw on various other messageboards on the net) played the perfect hypocritical crisis communication form that most of the time unfortunately works : deny ad nauseam or/and then play dead.
They know that it will be almost impossible to prove anything, as too many dealers were involved, and that they still can say that "somewhere on Earth there is an Island with REAL CH runes SS helmets and that they saw some originals in the past etc etc".
They also know that 99% of the collectors BELIEVE what the "Gods/experts" say, and that they know nothing themselves...
And 99% of the collectors that were fooled are not on the internet, and never heard of the study of DougB.
Many collectors are trying to get history right (fakes vs. originals), but most of the experts and dealers are here for the money, nothing else.
No matter if they trick people and they knew from the start that they are selling fakes...
See You
Vince
