Thanks Gaspare I have talked to Russ...he is on the same page and he "got" it cheers to all and to all a good nite, Ryan

Pat,
Don't know if you got this one but wow! Now there is a one looker, rare early Allgemeine crusher..and IMO very reasonably priced.

And you get two sets of insignias... and uh...they are..uh..original.

Regards,

Call me crazy, but I'd put the OLD insignia back on that lovely early cap in a heartbeat. Maybe it's original, but it doesn't look right on such an early cap. Yummy cap!!

so what is the status of this hat now???.. ,,,Robert

This hat has been shipped to the west coast and, as with all my transactions, I will have no further comments on this item with respect to the current owner.

No further comments??

Where are your comments??

No-one is asking for comments with respect to the current owner. We are waiting for your comments on how this veteran-bought visor has a fake eagle on it, and also whether it is an 'old motel buy' or a 'new visor', based on the two different descriptions you gave this thing on two different forums.

You were very quick to comment on militarymania's question - how about answering these questions with the same rapidity?

Regards
Russ

Reminds me of the Teflon Don thread.

The interjection here clears up nothing and the fact the cap is or isn't sold clears up nothing either. The fact that an item sells does not have anything to do with its authenticity. The visor's originality was never a question for me, just the manner in which it was presented to this forum..It remains a shame that this has never been cleared up. I think someone's reputation has been hurt more than they either know or unfortunately care by this entire episode. cheers

sellick,,,i could'nt agree with you more,,,'tis a dirty rotten shame,and did'nt need to happen..

Having stared the thread, I think I must make a comment. The question is not of the origanality of the cap. This as I have stated, I do not have the knolege. Infact, I have 3 caps and I was hoping to get knolagable help as to their origanality. But back to the problem, a respected dealear has described the cap in two totaly different manners on two forums. WHY? Also as a Chemist, and I use this with strength of conviction,why would he have done ths? Motel buy, are the Holy Grail of collections. TJ has been on these jollys, who dose this boad for the material gained in this manner?

OK - back to the cap, the insignia has been proved to be fake. OK when was this applied? By who was it applied? Taking all this into account we are left with the two statements about the cap on two different forums. I do not think the reader of this have to be Einstien to come to a conclusion. But Ron is a reputable man, please come forward and explain. We all can make a mistake.

I still find it rather alarming that the apparent breach of the COC has not been addressed in this case, but has been continuously and rigorously applied in threads concerning gun control, politics and religion more recently. Afterall, as the Administrator says, this is a site to discuss militaria collecting, yet when we find a breach, as in this topic, it is ignored - why is that?

from the coc,,,"We are dedicated to expanding knowledge of genuine historical relics and, by default, exposing faked, reworked, and enhanced items that deceive collectors. To avoid confusion, we require that members posting images disclose anything that is not 100% original in any image that they post. Violators may be suspended for 30 days. Repeat violators will be expelled."..guess this part was overlooked,,,

I don't know if we really want to open up this topic again as it really serves no purpose...good cap with questionable insignia...made known to the seller prior to listing and yet not disclosed when posted here for sale in clear violation of COC yet no explanation nor apology...that is what has left a bad taste in some members' mouths = privately owned and operated site....no one in my opinion was looking to tar and feather anyone as mistakes are made...people just wanted some form of reply to what took place, minus the arrogance and selective prejudice for big names.

beware the inner circle.it will swallow you up and spit you out.
