Acer, your behavior here at the K98k forum is not putting you in a very positive light. I did have respect from you on GHW2, but your comments here is a disgrace, plain and simple. If you cannot behave as an adult, then please do not post. Your message has been received, loud and clear. We are just not paying attention, as your posts are neither constructive nor useful.
It is really sad that your kind of attitude and viewpoints are now more dominant on GHW2, diminishing that forum. The quality of that once excellent helmet forum has sadly dropped, and I can easily see why.
By the way, the chickenwire helmet posted by Niels on GHW2 got busted big time for being a fake, after being deemed as a "one looker", "a screamer" and "having everything you want to see in a helmet". I therefore firmly believe that this thread by Brian Ice, who has contributed significantly to the knowledge of german helmets through the lot number research, is actually in the forefront in combatting the new focal point of the fakers. The sheer amount of new knowledge on manufacturer to decal relationship, lot numbers and paint schemes has made it so hard to fake factory issue helmets that the fakers are now solely focusing on camo helmets.
Unfortunately, the fakers seem to be able to fool even advanced collectors with their "exotic freshies".
I do not expect you Acer to repond like an adult to my post, so please go ahead with your childish attacks. Mature collectors treat each other with respect, even if there is disagreement on a particular helmet.
Respectfully,
Rune
If it is a fire you want, I recommend buying several hundred cases of my book and have a massive Nazi-style book burning. But you must understand that under those conditions I am not able to offer my bulk discount.
Hi Rune,
I can answer you as the adult im, dont worry i can be very serious except when people is playing with me or not taking me seriously and in this forum those things are happening.
Im not here to argue with everybody. im here because somebody told me that helmet posted in GHw2 are posted here with our replies, i came to see it and kept in silence until M45 put my name ( or better copy and paste) my name in one of his threads, i didnt find it normal, now its funny, that somebody took our pics there to judge them here, probably for you can be perfect to take the other´s helmets and bring them here, but for me is not normal, but wacthing the people´s reaction it seems im the beast ( who cares).
I dont disagree in a special helmet, i disagree in the way they are posting here and how member of GHW2 are posted here, even he permit to say " do they are so stupid" ?? when i dont know M45 and dont want, i wouldnt took his book even with a stick, because i have read until all this matter nothing relationed to lot numbers.
M45. and i will finish with you soon because im making too much publicity to whom doesnt deserve it. If you book would be really so important, so neccesary for collectors, so valuable, and not because you writte it (

), since the first moment you would have checked the helmets with your book, asking lot numbers,showing the pages where they come... where do they are?? no one and nothing!!!! i have shown you in a couple of lines how valuable is your book

So wait me sat in a chair if you could imagine for a moment i could take only a page of your "famous" book.
Please, avoid me wasting my time replying to your valuables threads, you can keep posting our pics and, probably, you will post someday one of my helmets, but only because you are very jealous of them ( would like to see your collection), well.... wait.... better no, thanks!! not really interested at all
