John,

This forum is about collecting militaria.
I can well understand you have some other hobby's too, but I guess you have to look for appropriate forums for "that other passe-temps"

...I've noticed this too Geert, ....he's lucky not to live some 65 years ago....otherwise he wouldn't collect SS items but producing them... in a nice blue striped pyjama instead of his leather and chained outfits....but he's a nice guy so I wish him a nice, well "vaselined" 2005.....

...Now I know why he's always looking for a cap eagle.....he likes them for his visor....

I think it has! See the name left below, a rather famous Flemish volunteer.


Edit: it seems I got confused with a Flemish knight....

Hi guys,

I have my concerns about the following 3 deathcards.
Please give your opinions.

http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI...142686799&rd=1

http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI...142688170&rd=1

http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI...142689057&rd=1

there are 3 things that concern me:

-all 3 the same paper, light yellow

-the deatchcards of the 2 soldiers have almost the same back and with the deatchcard of de clerq, again the same 'jesus' face.

-never seen a 'de clerq' deatchcard like this one


or am i just over-suspicious

Gilles,

These are well known fakes ... don't touch them or you'll burn your fingers!
All the points you indicated are the red flags, but there are still some more to identify these fake death cards ... but as you know, flemish volunteer death cards are pretty rare and will never go under € 50 nowadays ...

Nice cards Michael and a nice Van Severen death notice you picked up Oliver!

Regards
Geert

Geachte,
graag zou ik u willen mededelen dat alledrie de doodskaartjes die u momenteel verkoopt allemaal bekende vervalsingen zijn.
Het zou fijn zijn moest u alledrie u veilingen annuleert of tenminste er duidelijk bijschrijft dat deze 3 repro zijn en de momentele bieders verwittigen.
met vriendelijke groet

let's wait for an answer

Gilles,

IMHO, you should not do this ... people are also somewhat responsible for buying the fakes ... they should document themselves in order to be able to detect the fakes ... don't you think so too?

In this way you start a "personal war" with the seller ... let hem sell copies if he wishes too ... only by means of the price, you can tell everything of it!

Regards
Geert
