644td Posted January 13, 2020 Share #32 Posted January 13, 2020 not worth a crap any more. a good lid destroyed. I would disagree that the helmet is not worth a crap and destroyed. The helmet can be cleaned of the fraudulent name And we do know the name that was in the helmet, so all is not lost. Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton67 Posted January 13, 2020 Share #33 Posted January 13, 2020 I agree. It still has value. Especially since it was documented by Bugme. Mike. I am also sorry that this happened to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
644td Posted January 13, 2020 Share #34 Posted January 13, 2020 I would still have it but I’m a sucker for an abused and scarred Chaplains helmet, so take that with a grain of salt. Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonT Posted January 13, 2020 Share #35 Posted January 13, 2020 Its a shame what was a perfectly good named helmet was tarnished like this. I wonder if we'll be hearing from member usoverlord for his explanation. I also hope sgtdorango gets his helmets back that he traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtdorango Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share #36 Posted January 13, 2020 As an update, i did get a few of my helmets back but took one as a loss and unfortunately i had to give him back the chaplain grouping so who knows whats going to happen with that but it was out of my control.....mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugme Posted January 13, 2020 Share #43 Posted January 13, 2020 I would disagree that the helmet is not worth a crap and destroyed. The helmet can be cleaned of the fraudulent name And we do know the name that was in the helmet, so all is not lost. Marty I'd have to agree, there is photographic evidence of what it was previously and what was added is easily removed. However, it will now be worth much less for resale simply because it was called into question and the original name is gone. What is yet even sadder is that I used this helmet for several years as my online Christmas greeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermut99 Posted January 14, 2020 Share #45 Posted January 14, 2020 I'm curious to know if he really thought he'd get away with this. Considering the helmet and group were sold separately on here, and he then put this together and then proceeded to sell it as one ID'd group here. I agree its ballsy, but also very arrogant and disgusting. Good riddance. I will also say it makes reading through some of his earlier threads and posts mildly humorous and ironic.

Bugme Posted January 14, 2020 Share #46 Posted January 14, 2020 Craig Thomas, aka: usoverlord has sold quite a bit on this forum in the past. If you have purchased any named items or groupings from him, I suggest you investigate exactly what you have. Here is a link to his ban announcement: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/337289-user-ban-usoverlord/&do=findComment&comment=2710798 To me this is the worst kind of deception. Taking legitimate items,(ie: legitimate paper grouping and legitimate helmet), embellish an item or two and marry them together in order to make a more valuable grouping. Sadly both legitimate items are now scarred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST Posted January 14, 2020 Share #47 Posted January 14, 2020 Dirtbag. Do we know his eBay name? I looked for USOVERLORD as a seller ID, but couldn't find it. I would like to add his name to my list of dealers not to trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccauslandpara1944 Posted January 14, 2020 Share #50 Posted January 14, 2020 It's sickening that someone would go to this extent to make a buck. USOVERLORD clearly has no respect for historical artifacts. Good work to those who discovered his fraudulent activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
