The FPN helmets from Ken supposedly came from 2 different vets, 2 different states, by two different collections. We know that because Ken told us. We know they came from vets but strangely we don't have any specific vet information.And this is exactly why this thread was started!
It has never really been about your Swastika Christmas ornaments hasn't it?
It was just bait for us, to see how we would respond.
I'll sum it up for you again in four sentences.
The Fp helmets in question were found in the US with severeal different veterans and have been in several different collections, but more importantly it also was discovered in relic state in France independent from eachother.
That relic helmet is material evidence that they are real.
Also they were sold for exactly the same value as without having a name and Fp in them, so there was no financial gain, the first and only thing fakers are interested in, they do it to make money.
Follow the money, their is alas nothing to follow in this case.
Hambone's helmet likely came from a vet at one time as well, but again no specific vet information.
The French connection helmet was supposedly a ground dig I understand ?
So YOUR vet acquired information sounds rock solid. But MY vet info is just full of holes. After all, you believe me, but that's where it ends. How do we know this old guy was even a vet at all ? And where did he really get the baubles, from some postwar Eastern Bloc setup perhaps ? It's just the same old B.S. story from some old man claiming vet status, isin't it? We've heard that SO MANY times.
But the FPN vet stories really sound legit, especially with the Ken connection.
