Hello everyone,

i found the connection between mr.ciak and mr.jngol about THIS helmet.

 

I think that the helmet shown below in the other ended Ebay transaction, is the original shell bought last november by Mr.Ciak and after maquillage was transformed in the present helmet !!!

 

You can see that it have the identical detil about surt, paint over rim, etc......

 

See this ebay transaction...

 

Ebay ended auction 1

I really don't know why everyone gets so worked up. No one on this Forum is going to stop this happening. If this guy stops there are plenty ready to replace him. As I mentioned on another post, anyone who builds their collection by using E-bay alone deserves to get burnt. If people are too lazy to get out and learn the ropes by looking at lids at shows then I have no pity for whoever buys these fakes. If they want to buy sh1t then more fool them.

The people buying them obviously don't use this forum (as many don't). Too be honest some don't care.

 

If people can't be bothered to learn their hobby then tough, I won't be losing any sleep over these fakes.

 

Harsh but true !!!!!

Oh, I agree. Still better than the guy who takes original WW2 Inland liners and tears the webbing out to make fake paratrooper liners though IMO.

Yes and there are all the other sign of rust on the internal and external of the shell.

Absolultly the same helmet.

 

No other possibility about it.

Great detective work Francesco! What Mr Jingle-bells does is purely and simply theft by another name and unfortunately he has lots of willing victims just queuing up to throw their money at his creations! :thumbdown:

Hi King

i agree , but we need to keep posting this because there are always new members that join here that may still be a bit green, and it alerts them to these fakers before they spend silly amounts of money on a fake. I also wouldnt want a son or daughter getting her/his fathers collection in 30 years time then to be told they are fakes.. If we all shout loud enough people will hear us :thumbsup:

#15

We also need to document it so when it shows up on a dealers table "Direct from a veterans estate!" five years from now, we will all know better.

maybe Mr.Ciak is the account that buys the helmets,materials,etc and Mr.Jingol account sells them :think:

Totally logical Philip! :thumbsup:

#18

Not for nothing, as this is undoubtedly an outright fake as documented by all here, but would a soldier really be as unspecific as to mark the inside of his helmet with his division as opposed to company, battalion, or even regiment?? I mean really!? :think:

#19

Smear paint on it, throw it in the flower bed for a few weeks, and you too can have an "authentic" WWII helmet! :ermm:

One of the most disgusting helmets I have ever seen.

In a way, I agree with you Rich - Too many people buy this junk without researching anything at all. I do have some pity though, but not a lot.

 

It's good to post the photos and warn about the sellers here on the forum though - It helps the new guys out, and they're coming here to at least try to learn.

Dott.hide is also the same person as Mr.Jingol and Mr.Ciak. I'm sure if you look through his feedback you can find some more interesting transactions. http://www.ebay.com/sch/dott.hide/m.html?_...p;_trksid=p3984

Yeah, it has been mentioned a few times in the past, the connection between ciak, jingol, hide, and there was another "dott" name in there as well I thought.

You're right Hoovie! Dott.Jekill is the other name, this guy is all over the place. And some serious shill bidding going on throughout all of these transactions. I do wonder when the last time he sold a helmet to someone other than himself.
