    huge site Carl, but sadly I can only see maybe about 20 of the images released......the large print is very hard to look at in my opinion. :(

    WTF?!

    That dude needs some serious html skillz! I mean he tried to load hundreds of large images onto one single webpage...what was he thinking? The site would be much better, (and he would sell much more), if he had a webmaster like Otto :D

    Nice postcards, but some of the autographed ones seem a little fishy to me, but who knows?

    Yeah, I was trying to figure out if the 3 Il Duce autographs really did look as different from each other as I thought they did. Cool postcards and posters, though.

    Glad you guys liked the site. I was able to see many more images than Erich and most are standard pics with few exceptions. I think he had a good portion priced fairly nad even a few underpriced--but--im not telling him that :D As for autographs--I cant see them clearly enough to know for sure on authenticity. I used to buy and sell autographs some years past--I am pretty familiar with Rommels and Hitlers Signatures but not the Duce or Gorings. Hitler and Rommel are VERY heavily faked. Hitlers sig (On a photograph) usually is priced about $1,200-1,500 so I am suspect on his offered Hitler pics. This is a case of too-good-to-be-true on Hitlers sig--in my opinion. Rommel goes for close to the same price--depending which pic he signed. Now had the sig only been on a piece of paper--the prices would be loweredmaybe 40%. Instead of say $1,000 for a signed pic--appx $650.00 for just a sig on a piece of paper (and only if it isnt a significant doc of anykind) and that would still be a low price for Hitlers autograph. Again--the prices I quote here are at least 4 years old if not more.

    PS: that guy should hire Peppy to "straighten out his site." ;) [​IMG]

    The pictures of Mussolini w/ signature are fake. I have a signed one here at home (somewhere in this forum I said how I was "connected" to IL DUCE). The signatures are sooo way off its sad. And I tend to trust the one I have a little more than the one on the site. A neat little website though...

    I'll try to get some of the photos I have of Mussolini scanned and send them to one of you guys who'd know how to put them up on here...I'm not all that great at posting images *hangs head in shame* (sorry Peppy *cries*)

    There are some great posters on the site of dutch and flemish SS. But there is something about this site that gives me a bad feeling. I don't think I spend my money there.

    I havent spent any there either. As you said--I also have a bad feeling about the site. If im going to buy military autographs--ill get them through Heusken or Detlev.

    OK. Thanks for the warning. I'd better purchase these things somewhere else. [​IMG]

    A "Red Flag" about the Hitler Signature is that it is priced way too low to be an original. Remember the old adage: "If it is too good to be true, it usually is." [​IMG]

    His site does have some good stuff in it--but--high dollar stuff you ALWAYS need to watch out for.
