No one owes him an apology, that is this instance alone not the 15 pages of research or help requests? The sad thing is that sales posts are lost so you can't actually see how much this person flips in general but as I have time on my hands being paid to not work I will collect it all together for you if you want. I bet the IRS has some time and archives too! They just need a shove in the right direction! He has the same MO as All1kew on other fora, particularly the burgundy one, on which he has a different tag. I believe he even stated in an earlier post (3 years ago ish) here that that is what he does as he buys at auction with a view to profiting? I think the general complaint is, go find out yourself. The people that know what he wants to know should not help him or at least charge him? Please Eric, from the 15 pages on his profile , identify at least 5 instances where he has helped this community? Then I will apologize! Best Rich

He is a flip artist and definitely a dealer! I am sure the IRS would enjoy looking at his sales across the fora and they would conclude the same. He is exploiting your knowledge, you need only look at his profile and more or less 15 pages of information requests or research help. Combine that with his sales activity and basically you are all employees? His activity has nothing to do with the collecting community, purely self gain? Part of the reason I don't post here any more is likes of him. Best Rich

Guys, more your bag than mine! Rich

Guys, BRS, This is more up your street, I like that he worked in all probability with the drawings for Titanic in 1907! The paper is in various sizes so it is a bit clipped in places. I need an A3 scanner to capture his CVs as they are longer than the references. Looks like he was busy in Wilhelmshaven in the first war! These are out of the recycle skip, crazy or what! Rich

Guys, BRS. I know you like this sort of thing. Rich

Guys, I know you all like this sort of thing. I haven't even scratched the surface yet. http://www.historicalwarmilitariaforum.com/topic/11656-distiguished-gentelman-well-decorated/ http://www.historicalwarmilitariaforum.com/topic/11654-military-intelligence-lot/ Ende!

Well I hope sailorjerry does not profit from it. Lets put our head in the sand. On that happy note there is no point in being here anymore, same as the rest.

Guys, These were with the family photos in our new house. Clearly both the same picture so if some one would like the double let me know.

No idea Kris

some more bits

Kevin, It is the previous owners husband he died some time ago but the EK doc and RAD album I posted recently was his. His name was Juergen Konert and they as a family are/were well known here in Bergen as the shop was the local electrical hardware store. We have just had an offer on our old house so I am having to prep this one up to receive all that resides in the other address. I am threaders!

Guys, Just found a few bits and bobs in the attic of our new house. This is now my favourite helmet picture. I will post some more when I have resolved my scanner issue.

Just found a box of photos and there are a couple of nice ones, I will post them up after night shift.

Guys, Just clearing the attic of the new house and it would appear I now have an instant collection of WHW and a bit of tin. more more more last

Fritzel, Just a bit of fun. I spent most of my life working with military radios and looking at the picture there are some interesting points. Directly behind his head is some sort of horn affair, is that to receive sound or transmit? The pack in front of him looks to have valves on it but back then you would need a pretty substansial battery to power any such device. The 'antenna' array remands me of a directional/narrow field FM thing we had called the 'clothes line' in English, UK this is used to dry your washing on. It was called the GMM ground mounted Monopole. There is obviously more of the device behind his back that we can't see. Always love a mystery! Good luck Rich

Perhaps the first speed detector! Very popular here in Germany!

Nothing on reverse of one and only this on the other.

I got it wrong, I need glasses it is by SMF.

Guys, As stated above.

Guys, Could this be French? It has a funny eagle on it and I remember somewhere that the French had an eagle emblem as well? Thanks

End to end in the scabbard 24cm.

Guys, Got this today. Advertisement piece?

Got this today.

Fakes look convincing or they would not work! Edit what I mean is that they are getting better all the time and some of the older ones are showing signs of natural age and patina too so it is getting harder all the time to tell them apart.
