As a then member of the staff of the Military Museum of Rastatt Castle I had been involved in writing the auction textes for the firearms offered at the Baden-Baden auction. So I had the opportunity to see that in the entrance hall of the Baden-Baden New Castle there have been many parts of armoures, mostly brestparts, helmets, swords and halberds which in my opinion all have been made in the 1870/80s. But as far as I know they all have been offered and sold as genuine pieces to mostly very high prices.
