Stogieman Posted December 30, 2024 Posted December 30, 2024 Given the veritable plethora of copies this seller is pushing through eBay.de I thought we should start a gallery of the offerings. 1
Stogieman Posted December 30, 2024 Author Posted December 30, 2024 If this was made by Godet then I’m going to be the next president
VtwinVince Posted December 30, 2024 Posted December 30, 2024 Good theme Rick. Unfortunately this guy's fakes, in particular the BMVO's, are extremely good.
Stogieman Posted December 30, 2024 Author Posted December 30, 2024 This one’s actually been bid up to 324-Euro
Stogieman Posted December 30, 2024 Author Posted December 30, 2024 This went for 281-Euro. Note the green enamel

Stogieman Posted January 1 Author Posted January 1 How low can one get? And actually been bid up to 199-Euro so far
Stogieman Posted January 4 Author Posted January 4 The market has been flooded with fakes of every class of the Albert Order, many have faked maker marks. Unfortunately, a constant offering of his. I guess I’m just really surprised that so many buyers are willing to bid. One would think that a bidder of reasonable intellect and experience would seriously consider and question how one seller would have a never ending supply of pretty scarce pieces!
VtwinVince Posted January 4 Posted January 4 The ultimate nightmare, a marriage of this guy and the Schraegstich Faker.
bolewts58 Posted January 5 Posted January 5 (edited) That Bavarian MVO4 looks pretty convincing complete with a proper Weiss & Co. logo, 950 silver mark and generally Weiss details. But Weiss crosses are noted for having a thicker frame on the lower arm (6 o'clock) than on the other three arms which is absent here and all arms on Weiss MVO4 usually have a pronounced beveled edge, also missing in this cross.. These are consistent details on all Weiss & Co. crosses as far as I know and the absence here is a red flag. Edited January 5 by bolewts58
Stogieman Posted January 6 Author Posted January 6 Honestly, I think this is the third one this past month
VtwinVince Posted January 6 Posted January 6 The efforts of these latter-day fakers are putting Blass and his crap from BITD to shame.
rujab Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Es ist traurig das man dieses Arsch.....nicht aus den Verkehr ziehen kann,
Stogieman Posted January 8 Author Posted January 8 (edited) Leider traurig aber wahr! Edited January 8 by Stogieman
Bernd_W Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Quote (5) Alle Artikel werden von mir grundsätzlich als Sammler- bzw. Museumsanfertigungen verkauft, da es mir nicht möglich ist das Alter bzw. die Echtheit zu garantieren. Ich bin lediglich Händler und kein vereidigter Gutachter. In his TOS he write, all the stuff is sold as manufactured for collectors or museums, because he can not check the age or authenticity. Hes just a dealer and no sworn appraiser. Sworn appraiser is a German law term, if he would sell stuff as genuine and you want to proof him wrong in court, you need a sworn appraiser. They are very seldom when it comes to militaria.
Stogieman Posted January 8 Author Posted January 8 Thanks Bernd, unfortunately, once out of his hands, they’re in circulation and who knows where they end up or who else passes them on without a disclaimer.
