have to be honest i love the way they think of new things to call these badges wonder what will be next
 
Gentlemen.This may come as a surprise to you.
I sent a message to Hiscoll militaria,This was to inform Mario the owner.Of a fake.Tis was a HJ diomand marked YES Otto Hoffman.
He sent me a real nice email to thank me and to inform me he has removed it from his site.
Well i guess some do listen and are bothered about reputation.
Will be nice to see History shop follow on.He has a few not nice HJ diomands there.
Crack open a beer and say cheers for 1 result this new year.Best regards Pete
 
Well i cant find any "Happy words". Not for a dealer who advertises on the major forums (WAF for example) where these particular badges are discussed to death by all - and regarded as fake by all! (For many many years now)
It shows me that he is prepared to list any old item without doing the slightest check. Be honest, if you tip the name OTTO HOFFMAN into any browser, what comes up?

It shows you how a Dealer lists items, without doing a check on the maker (in this case, a maker that cannot be connected with making HJ badges to date, and a makers name that is only found on FAKE hj badges - to date)
So it`s:
  • Take a quick photo
  • List item
  • Wait until it sells / or wait until someone mails you that its the worst and easiest to spot fake around.. True Dealer qualities right there, what every new collector should expect!

No regard for 1 minute of research or checking, no regard or time or interest to read any threads on forums that you advertise on... so from my point of view, no compassion - AT ALL!
It is 2013, and these are basic fakes....it is also not the only fake item on his site, and certainly will not be the last either - regardless of how many emails you send him.
 
i agree joe dont tell me they dont know they are fakes when they list them, your not talking novices here, they just slip them in and hope nobody says anything,

This is true. No excuses for putting fakes that are so clear into the sale :noidea:
 
What? the vet story? not true?

Calamity...... quote:
100% orig. From very old VET'S collection

I am somewhat confused here? When the item offered, is a clear fantasy, like here, everyone will agree that the Vet story offered by Manions is bogus, yet as soon as THEY actually own an item, even though it`s fake, the Vet story will be used as Solid Proof (S-marked HJ-Proficiency badges for example)
LOL......

Pete, yes it was advertised as SS-HJ, on a site called (something like) Black Forest Regalia - Militaria ... about 12 months ago.. i think it was posted here as well, so will probably be a link back somewhere, the asking price was $799.-
No, not yet, will have a butchers......
