The e-ay is flooded by PKKA fakes from Poland. Seller nick is new guy (to me) selling all kind of fakes and quite questionable uniforms claiming to do something with PKKA :-)

Re: New fakes on the block?
I looked at his stuff. He seems to have all three categories of wares:
1) Genuine items misrepresented as to how rare or special they are (basic ushanka described as general's headgear) 2) Genuine items which have been modified to make them more valuable (addition of newly manufactured pre-war officer's rank to later issue uniforms) 3) Outright reproductions. The commissar star on the one item is laughable. In any case, the prices he is asking will pretty much scare every one away (hopefully). Moving off the pre-war items he is selling, there do seem to be more genuine pieces. These tend to have even more astronomic pricing. Last edited by Jeffrey Meffert; 02-23-2014 at 08:28 AM. |

Re: New fakes on the block?
Heck, I think I know this guy in person.
He has some great stuff in his collection, but at the same time is notorious for overpricing what he sells. He has enough knowledge to tell fakes from originals (in most of the cases), so if he sells fakes as originals - he does that on purpose. Don't even try to correct him - his English is worse than my Serbo-croatian (which means worse than none), and his ability to accept criticism is non-existent. |
