      Yes, I was thinking it must be you or somebody from your clique.

      My post contained no personal attacks or insults. It was a gentle comic response to this rediculous threatening by "international expert".

      Typical selective "Chris-style" moderation with which I am way too familiar  ;)  

      It a shame that such unscrupulous person as you are allowed to be a moderator ...

       

      After my last post ...

       Another post deleted that contained explanation of "diamond" set pedigree.

      Shocking :o 

      What kind of moderation is this anyway?

      Well, your agitation is understandable, dear Misha.

      So many potential clients around :rolleyes:

      As for 

      "...absolutely beyond my level..."

      This is one striking example of overstatement :lol:

      Etc, etc, etc ... 

       

       

      Concerning  recent statements showing pictures of orders from Kuenker’s auctions without auction and catalogue numbers has to be considered not only to be unfair but also as very unscientific and polemic which should not be the level of such an important international forum in my opinion. My comments concerning the pictures shown in message ID 15: all three pieces shown that there had been offered in Kuenker’s auction 235 (June 2013 – 8804, 8814 and 8815) and were withdrawn from the auction before it’s start. The first picture of message ID 16 shows cat.- no. 1160 of auction 253 which was correctly described as “later non Russian jewellers manufacturing” (those words also in English) and made “only” 4,800 Euros.

       

      You should read this thread more carefully. 

      Selling price for 4 items in post #16 was mentioned "in toto" and nobody claimed that pieces in post #15 were sold by Kunker (direct quote "they tried") 

       

      Dear collectors and colleagues of this highly important international forum, I would like to ask you to give your statements with a little more of British fairness. A term “auction full of fakes” to be used with illustrations of only four illustrations of Russian pieces and after all to use an “etc.”  

       

      Since you are asking for more :whistle:

      Yep, as I said earlier every majour aucion house sells fakes.

      Although some stuff that Hermann Historica was trying to move during last 5 yeas is simply beyond imagination.

      HH rules! :lol:

      Or maybe they would speak of "Orders and Decorations" or "War Medals".

      I don`t know about all contexts and frankly I don`t care much.

      But since it comes right down to it, then Kunker sells fake "numismatic items" as well

      I only discovered this auction house a few years ago and from my initial look at it I concluded that they were a coin house, exclusively.   

       

      Simple try to google Künker Auktion - Orden und Ehrenzeichen and you will see how many purely faleristical auctions they had ;) 

      Point 2, I thought when they said "medals" they were referring to TABLE medals. :lol: 

       

      Objection! This is speculation :lol:

      sorry to see Kunker pushing these bad pieces.  In their (only) defense they are mainly a coin auction and the medals/orders are just not their forte. 

       

      Strongly disagree :cool:

      First, they are selling medals and orders for many years.

      So this is not their "first time deal"

      + 

      For quite some time they try to position themselves as (direct quote)

      Fritz Rudolf Künker GmbH & Co. KG is among the leading auction and trading houses for coins and medals.

       

      Second, they are charging brigandish 23% comission for their "activities".

      So I guess (for that kinda money) they have some real top notch experts working around the clock.

      No? :catjava:

       Can think no better a guarantee of forgery (and anyway they have no legal binding)

       

      Check out this hologram.

      Looks pretty cool and kinda responsible :rolleyes:

       

      I can't be all bad as I am kind to animals, especially dogs (mind you so was the German Charlie Chaplin impersonator).

       

      You see, animals can be very handy for some people to justify their dislike of humans (forgeries included :lol:).

      Of course every major auction sells fakes now and then.

      Intentionally or because of "an honest oversight" :catjava:

      But this time it is something surreal.

      Both in qualitative and in quantitative terms :lol:
