I have another that I didn't show in this assembledge which is attributed to SS General Bader.

Also, the above Rampsperegr ring was also a General.

Koschula was in the SD.

Magnificent John! Those specimens are a living history lesson in themselves. Do you have a dossier on each man?

Mark,

A few of them I do have their personnel files. A couple I've never ventured into any research.

John - You have a very impressive ring collection. However, I know that it is only a small part of an even more impressive and nicely displayed militaria collection.

Iain,

Everything has a price.

Although I'm really not wanting to sell my collection, as I say, everything has a price and as such, if you have a sincere interest, please advise me and we will talk.

I am a novice John, I haven't stopped thinking and am in awe of your ring collection. I was wondering between your rings, what price range do they cover? Where do I start looking for these tiny pieces of history? Thanks in advance. Paul Mann

Breath taking! I can only dream of owning one, let alone nine! Question . . . is the red and green colour I see on many of the rings in their individual photos, a trick of the camera/lighting or have wax casts been taken of each ring? ~ Ian

John,
Did this Latvian dealer buy your "Clement" SSTK?
It shows all the same markings like the gash over the skulls right eye.

Looks like he even likes your photo skills! Eek

serge,

I still have my Clement ring and it has never been out of my hands.

Absolutely for sure he has stolen or hijacked my photos and is using them on e-pier. The ring that he is picturing are my photos and not a remake. Look at the individual photos, back round, lighting and shadows.

As said many times on this forum, Buyer Beware and know who you're dealing with and always get an iron clad money back guarantee.

Regards,

John

Another Scammer this time from Latvia.

He has a slew of SS items on e-pier which photos are obviously stolen from their owners.

John,
You know all the SS collectors. You might see something more there that is familiar.
Here are three more items he has listed - there are many more.

As near as I can tell this is a picture of the same ring I emailed you the other evening and I believe it says "Clement" on the inside with a 21 12 44 award date. The ad I had found is still apparentely up on Epier.

Gaspare,

It is absolutely for sure that the pictures that the guy is using to sell on e-pier is my ring. Mine still does have some of the green verdigris but some has been rubbed off over time.

Kris L. has cracked the mystery and has found that some crumb had pirated many photos from his and others web sites and was using them for his sales on e-pier. Subsequently, Kris has had all of his auctions rescinded. Kudos to Kris the sleuth.

John
