If this was a private sale it might be a lot harder to get a
refund. Sounds like he's attempting to try and con you
further into believing they are good. Tell him you're
just not happy or 100% sure about them, and
that you will always have doubts.
If he is a dealer, he should be willing to take the
pieces back to protect what is left of
his integrity.........

Good points, all. The friend I bough them from said initially I could have my money back, I'm going to see if he'll still honor that. He's a dealer himself, in true crime not militaria, and definitely does not want his reputation tarnished by this.
This one and the DLV you all have said are fake and the Hitler Youth he threw in for free you all said was real which makes me believe the guy's just not very bright- he probably thought all 3 were real (the original seller, not my friend); I think my friend doesn't want to believe/ admit he was duped.
Pride goes before the fall...
I do understand that these are difficult conversations but in the end, if he is serious, it will make him a better collector/dealer as well.
Also, what I have done in the past is instead of asking for the money back, I've asked to swap the item out for something else I liked. That helps protect the pride of the seller a bit...especially if he is a friend.
What the heck is "true crime"???

He already offered my money back so I'm gonna go that route- not sure he'd do a swap, kind of hard to swap militaria with his stuff; not sure he'd be up for that, lol.
May have been something lost in the translation..Auto Correct anymore is notorious in mistaken words...Auto Correct can be "True Crime "
