Ahhh B.P and H.S.....
Thought it would be him, as usual when someone is talking about A CROOK dealer from Sweden....and when i saw that Latvian DK, they do trips every year to Latvia to buy stuff from people they know or works for them.
Peter, i dont think its gonna be easy to get your money back, but if i were you i would trie to get the money back as FAST as you can!!!!
Truly i think that there is no collector in Sweden that has NOT been ripped of by those 2.
When i started collecting i bought a lot of stuff from him, i have some stuff here from him worth 50 bucks that i payed 1000 for.
Did i get refund???? FORGET IT, the only answer i got was it WAS original at the time he sold it to me......

They are getting some reputation....Comment

Fakes
I Got burned pretty good after buying an SS EM Grey Sidecap off ebay off a Guy named terry Von Khoeler in Florida USA.I dont know if this is a Rare example or not from his bussniss. I would be pleased to hear more stories if there are any. I paid 600 Bones for the Cap and was happy with it. Everything looked good. I sent it to N&T and Norbert said it was without a doubt Fake. It looked all good, I couldnt believe it. I then polietly tried to send it back 2 or 3 years later after the appraisal and was refused a refund and never recieved another email since even after getting in the best traditions of a Cdn Regular Army Sgt polietly nasty but breif, concise and still respecting the Enemy. If it was still in ebays database You bet I would have left some awesome feedback. Then I get an email from his list saying come and support my new Online Militaria Site. Whatever!!! Getting burned sure makes you learn, I've noticed any reputable dealer who is anyone honest at all has a refund policey and is a member of GO or MAXX. But as they say "What goes around comes around and every dog has his day"
Dont worry Peter Viking Peter here has been in your shoes. Worst thing is my money to buy the cap I earned by prodding for mines and risking my life then had a scammer take "that" money. That made me angry somewhat!!Last edited by pete; 11-24-2003, 05:45 AM.Comment

Bad dealers...
These guys are known in Sweden and they usually also pops up at shows. Im collecting since 1995 but I have never been fooled by them. (but close once) I mainly have other sources to buy from. And they dont give a very trustworthy impression when you meet them at shows either. They mix original and fakes without telling you and have no price tags.
If you really know what youre doing you can do business in person with them but otherwise I recomend to stay away. They usually fool the beginners.
I also knows the person who owns the insignia and medal lot shown in the start here. (not one of the three dealers mentioned so far) He is mainly a good guy but lacks the knowledge to separate original from fake sometimes. (and who doesnt from time to time??? ) He believes too much in the source he buys from. If its from a vet it has to be 100 % original.
This is my advice...

big money....
Tony;
Yes its USD 15000... He must be hoping for some kind of happy bidding! Its quite unrealistic to have an auction for that much. Few bids that much. Particulary not in Sweden.
