Airborne Hi
I am a new member to this site who like you, was scathing in my remarks about fake militaria on Ebay.
One guy was selling prints entitled "Stand-by, Stand-by" and because I knew the history of that particular print - the original used to hang in John Slough of London [Gunmakers] in Hereford, and because I have lusted after one since I first saw it, I bid for and purchased the print.
I should have guessed by the size of the package that it was a repro and a very badly computer glossy print at that.
Although I got my money back, I did complain to both the vendor and Ebay about the matter and, as usual, nothing happened.
I was so unhappy about this sad state of affairs, that I contacted a friend of mine in the Mob and pressure was applied to remove the item.
I myself am just about to dispose of my late uncle's collection of Kaiser and Third Reich militaria - most of which he took from prisoners during the war, but a few pieces have come from the Mike Rossi Collection and all items are original.
I know this is not the place to ask, but could you please let me know the definitive rules governing the sale of German militaria of WWII vintage? (I have just been kicked off Ebay for trying to sell a 3rd Waffen-SS Panzer Division "Totenkopf" Staff Car Pennant - as it "glorifies the Third Reich & the Nazi Party")
