Richard Gordon Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 TomThey look to be a nice copy. Good for a filler.Rich
Tom63 Posted January 16, 2007 Author Posted January 16, 2007 The opinion J.Nimmergut - real,rarity.Expertise.
hunyadi Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 If memory serves right Nimmergut certificates have been rather dubious in the past. The originals from what I understand have a mark of SiLBER - not SILBER...but far be it from me to be an expert...
Dietrich Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 He says that one original example is in the named museum in England.But no matter what he says or writes - still no original Godet. Even Mr. Nimmergut should have been able to count the dots on the sword hilts. In this case 8. However, all Godets have 7...
J G Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 correct me if im wrong but there should be a small "i" in SiLBER?
Dietrich Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 correct me if im wrong but there should be a small "i" in SiLBER?You are absolutely right.
PKeating Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 As we see time and again, Certificates of Authenticity are often not worth the paper upon which they are printed. A few dealers have made quite a lot of money out of authenticating militaria but none of them has, as far as I know, ever been able to produce any official qualification according them expert status. Dietrich is right about the dots but the immediate giveaway, surface details aside, is the hallmark reading SILBER rather than SiLBER. It would look fine on a display mannequin but that's about it.
