I know the owner of this operation and have visited him. Some couple of years ago I carried a trunk full of junk over to his place to trade for a massive pre WWI bronze that he was selling for $3000. His collection and inventory were mind numbing; he had a naval sword given by the Kaiser to his eldest brother. He had a couple of Garde Kurassier Helmets. He had Nazi stuff the like of which I had never seen outside of the West Point Museum.
He also had fake stuff. He took from me in trade a Polish counterfeit of a rather rare Iron Cross and gave me an excessive amount of credit for it. He also borrowed from me a rare Austrian storm troop badge that he said he wanted to have copied. I never got my original back but have seen hundreds of beautiful copies.
When last I visited him he had a German wife and had set up a rather nice Antique shop dealing in German and Scandanvian antiques and jewelry as well as militaria. Any time I see a dealer offering more than one or two Pour le Merit', I grow cautious. He had several for sale.
