So, just slapping random swastikas all over even the most ludicrous objects makes them TR artifacts and unquestionably real? People are going crazy over this obvious dime store junk. My God the education systems have totally failed.....

I am glad that everyone here shares the same first thoughts as me when I saw this article. If a bunch of fake crap makes national news then my man cave would get more coverage then the OJ Simpson trial!

This is the latest I heard.
Antiques dealer Carlos Olivares is the only one accused so far in this situation with the artifacts. They were seized at two of his commercial locations plus his private house in the Becar section.
30 Million is the estimated value of the 3rd Reich items seized – WOW
All Fakes– apparently Carlos’ defense attorney says that all these 3rd Reich artifacts are reproductions, that they are not real and they are waiting for an expert to arrive and decide.
Yup...they got one of those as well....

Is this a new meaning of "Schweinhund"..
Ok, I no.. just couldn't help it..
I'm sorry
What about a "Nazi" Spider?
As I mentioned earlier I figured he was a dealer. Funny how he is now saying they are fakes. But I bet if you tried to buy them, they would have been sold as 100% genuine original with a COA.
Also funny how they estimated a value of $30mm...maybe RM30 million from the 1920's. The authorities are idiots.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them
"Don't tell me these are investments if you never intend to sell anything" (Quote: Wife)
Maybe this guy sold someone influential a "reproduction", even though these look like straight fantasy fakes, and he is getting his come-uppance. Pure speculation on my part, but I imagine th 30 million number helps lock him up for a long time, where the more accurate couple thousand in fakes doesn't have the desired effect. Watch the "expert" authenticate the fakes, and then the government try to sell them for 30 million. What a disastrous story. The stuff should be sold for scrap......
That Pig would make a hell of a door stop!

When I saw the display frame with the gun, oh my. If you need an expert for that, then you're a fool. Every movie prop has more authenticity than those items. I haven't worked out how to include a picture. I'd have loved to. This should be sticky in the educating in fakes section.
