KASTAUFFER Posted August 23, 2016 Share #10 Posted August 23, 2016 I think what he is saying is fakers will now takes photos of their "fake helmets" being dug up ( posed ) to try and add authenticity to their products. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Dentino Posted August 23, 2016 Share #11 Posted August 23, 2016 Was wondering the exact same thing Ron.......? Is there something we are not seeing or being told? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugme Posted August 23, 2016 Share #12 Posted August 23, 2016 Is there something we are not seeing or being told? Sorry Ron, all those fake relic helmets I posted above all came from this same guy, the OP I think what he is saying is fakers will now takes photos of their "fake helmets" being dug up ( posed ) to try and add authenticity to their products. Kurt Bingo! As mentioned above, there is a reason for my shot at the OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted August 23, 2016 Share #13 Posted August 23, 2016 Ok... Im a little slow.I was thinking in that line but didnt want to assume anything (on my part) So the OP is a known helmet artist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonm Posted August 23, 2016 Share #14 Posted August 23, 2016 Yes. Been discussed on numerous threads here on the above helmets Scott has provided photos of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David D Posted August 23, 2016 Share #15 Posted August 23, 2016 Sorry but is it really worth the time for a plain helmet with no insignia, and a single shrapnel hole. Seems like your going out on a limb with that one. So I'm guessing youre saying all the GRS tags are all fakes as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkash23686 Posted August 23, 2016 Share #16 Posted August 23, 2016 Sorry but is it really worth the time for a plain helmet with no insignia, and a single shrapnel hole. Seems like your going out on a limb with that one. So I'm guessing youre saying all the GRS tags are all fakes as well? Well they seem to start out with no insignia but end up having insignia on them: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-BATTLE-BULGE-RELIC-M1-HELMET-WITH-UNKNOWN-INSIGNIA-/222000316509?hash=item33b040005d:g:XB4AAOSwL7VWn1G0&rmvSB=true http://www.ebay.com/itm/X-RARE-ORIGINAL-WWII-US-GHOST-ARMY-RELIC-M1-HELMET-LINER-/221817726976?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33a55de800&rmvSB=true The OP Is a pretty well known faker in Europe of both helmets and signs for several years now.

Bugme Posted August 23, 2016 Share #17 Posted August 23, 2016 ...So I'm guessing youre saying all the GRS tags are all fakes as well? Don't know, I collect helmets, not dog tags but, since tags are extremely easy to fake, I guess those would be suspect as well. By the way, the OP is more than welcome to refute any of this.

doyler Posted August 23, 2016 Share #18 Posted August 23, 2016 Yes. Been discussed on numerous threads here on the above helmets Scott has provided photos of.
