Stogieman Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I’m not sure who/when this set was assembled. I found it interesting and thought it worth sharing and discussing. Ran through US eBay, final bid was $485. The devices added to the mountings are curious. The attributed name is: Graf Franz Eitel Wilhelm von Salm Horslinar? I seriously doubt that any officer with that name didn’t receive other awards but this is what there is. Comments?? Thoughts?? Anyone know that name??

VtwinVince Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I saw that one and thought the whole thing was a fake, including the spurious engraving filled with spelling errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted July 3 Author Share Posted July 3 There seems to be a real cottage industry coming up with these “sets”. Between the EK ones, flight badge ones and now this. I don’t know where they’re all coming from but I do know that as long as people keep buying, they will keep coming! Again, our hobby has become a minefield. I’ve so restricted my focus because of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Agreed, it all started about ten years ago with a bunch of fake Luftstreitkraefte sets with spurious engravings coming out of eastern Europe. Now the floodgates have opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
