Hi guys, I have a large and small version of the Jungsturm Adolf Hitler Badge from the Hartung Collection in May upcoming December 14 Auction. Hartung was as a pupil of the NPEA himself and collected HJ for 50 years. He was a close friend to Axmann.
Hi, your auction house is not the best when it comes to small badges
My personal opinion from watching the many fake badges sold over years there. Expensive fakes!
What is long known to be fake, you sell as genuine. Even Craig Gottlieb Auctions sold these fake HJ-Ausländer badges as reproductions in 2012/3. And that, is saying a lot!
But there they were, up for sale on your site for over €1000! (image below from previous sale of yours)
And again in your upcoming auction, you have a well-known fake HJ-Ausländer badge marked Hermann Aurich, described as
one of the few known originals!
So you CLEARLY, do not know a genuine small badge from a fake one. This is proven by the many fakes your auction has advertised as genuine and sold. So how could anyone take your word that the Jungsturm badges you have are genuine?
A small one and a large one?
Made by who? The same faker who invented the fantasy so-called prototype Blutorden, that is also made in small and large versions
And they are cast in the same manner.
UNFORTUNATELY - and this is just my opinion,
I think that posts like yours on fora are a total discrace. I have expirienced it over and over, when you people use a forum for free advertising and nothing more. Never are any extra images uploaded to help collectors, never is any form of historical debate entered into, never are any outside opinions considered. What auction houses like yours do, is to DICTATE what is genuine or not, and publish it in a catalog for maximum business = commision. With no regard to what collectors and seriously interested researchers have already debated and researched for a very long time.
Where is the historical evidence to support such a sale of two Jungsturm badges?
Where is the microscopic evidence? Have they been examined? Are they correctly produced, or are they cast? Do people who wish to bid at the auction have access to this evidence? It is obvious from the fakes sold through your auction house over the years that not everything can be trusted to be 100% genuine, as you print and claim, so in all fairness, there needs to be more to add to the credibility of just "saying something - claiming something".
