ArchangelDM Posted November 6, 2017 Share #26 Posted November 6, 2017 I read every single comment on every page of that thread a month ago. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Then what he has done should be enough to not quote that its still an original WW2 shell. Its now NOT original and it is now a ruined original helmet. Yet another shell ruined by this fraudster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAW Posted November 6, 2017 Share #27 Posted November 6, 2017 Unfortunately, he's not the only one that mixes in the repros to an "original period items" category. Lots of people do it...and it's always irritating because it's a waste of my time. Thanks for pointing this helmet out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWII_GI Posted November 8, 2017 Share #29 Posted November 8, 2017 He's also created an Instagram account under the same name. Yes he did, also I noticed that he blocked my militaria account on there, looks like he's trying to stay hidden from us. -Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenchfoot Posted November 9, 2017 Share #36 Posted November 9, 2017 We should save the photos of his "works" so people don't get burned in the future when these come up for sale as original... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted November 9, 2017 Share #37 Posted November 9, 2017 Just keep documenting his work like this and keep logging in the helmets. Bugme should create a simple index listing that can have new helmets dded. No need for comments just a picture list index. 1 thru ..............end number xxx Pin it and add to it. No need to bitch or thrash the guy. Just make it concise and it will help others in 20 years time when we are no longer active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USARV72 Posted November 9, 2017 Share #39 Posted November 9, 2017 The SPR helmet guy is no longer with us but his works reside in many many collection. He once said his helmets were so good no one could tell from originals. Not only did he do Ranger M-1s but many others. Very vain person, only ate pizza, one big factor in his demise. IIRC he sought out old lead based paint for his " works". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted November 9, 2017 Share #41 Posted November 9, 2017 Did anybody save the photos from his instagram and website?

Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted November 10, 2017 Share #45 Posted November 10, 2017 Ive heard he still lurks on this forum as an unregistered guest....mike wouldn't surprise me, even some sort of IP banning him would be easily counter-able.

huntssurplus Posted November 12, 2017 Share #50 Posted November 12, 2017 Are these new creations or inventory he has created in the past that he is trying to sell away in order to get out of the hobby for good? It seems he is still making profit off his work just a few dollars less-or should I say a few thousand dollars less. Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
