Ouch mate! So sorry you have had a bad intro to this amazing but hazardous hobby!

Keep your chin up and stay with the blokes on this forum. If you are passionate enough you will soon have a nice genuine collection

Wow, I am very encouraged by the level of support offered here by complete strangers. I will certainly follow up in some form or fashion with the limited means that I have and see if at least this guy can be exposed. I will post his information here shortly once I talk to my superiors (I am in HHC Sniper section, I used to do PSD/driver for my Command Sergeant Major) so he will most likely help me out dealing with JAG or whomever. If I don't get my monies back, I can deal with it in the long run. If I can save others the heart ache that would give me solace.

As an 11B Infantryman I have been handed shit on a stick before and made diamonds of it... "I will never accept defeat, I will never quit" is two lines from the Warriors Ethos and Soldiers Creed here in the United States Army... I live by those words in all facets of my life. Flat out.

Have just read what has happened to you and i feel for you so much and you deserve to get your hard earned money back! Dont let this put you off collecting the Third Reich and like all the guys here have said if you are new to this field of collecting allways post up pics before you buy as the guys here are real experts and can spot fakes and help you to become aware of what to look for. I think weve all been done at some point and its never an easy thing and you have handled this incredibly well. Anyway, just offering my support along with the other guys and please try everything you can to get your money back and let us know how you get on. Best Regards, Tim.

Quick rule of thumb.....Poland = Never. The amount of money spent on this grouping must have been staggering. It would have been so much better-and more fun-to hunt and collect them one by one. Buying a complete set, so to speak, would be boring for me after the initial excitement of going over it! At any rate, good luck on getting some or, hopefully, all of your loss back from the Polish thief! William
