Too good to be true?

Guys,

I know the pic is pretty crappy...but what do you think of this!!!. All duplicates.... This seller has some really bad stuff and some good stuff...I know I should leave it alone but I wonder what you make of it.

Cheers

I'm afraid I don't have pic's of the doc. This guy has pages of stuff, and most of it looks bad...I think the price (I forget which item it was now....) was only 100-150 euro's though.

Alexei wrote in the other thread (Red Banner of Labor) that he's never seen the "D" that large.

I would say stay away based on that alone.

Cheers for the info.

It seems that a fair bit of the items in the recent threads are from this chap. I will stay away and continue to buy stuff from dealers...

medalklector, maybe you watched too much the seller you ask I send you by PM. Wasn't this enough for you, to know that his groups are all fakes? ;)

Soviet,

I know, but he had so much stuff that I was dumbfounded that all could be fake :eek:

As an extra bit of info. I sent him a note asking (in very broken German) if he guaranteed that his items are original.

I got back

"YES", that was all I needed to here in order not to trust anything he has.

So there's a guarantee on their authenticity but no returns!

PRICELESS!

It's almost as bad as I'll take it back but I need professional references and proof that the items are not authentic!
