At 1 GBP you can't go wrong.
![]() His other items for sale are priced just a little higher. I don't like these private auctions, you have no idea what went on. Best regards, Willem |

The seller is living in Bremen, Germany. Maybe he bought at Hermann Historica with the intension of reselling using the pictures of Hermann Historica. But the seller could be a great photographer as well.
I think you are a bit in a hurry by nailing this seller as unreliable because his feedback looks ok. The negative incidents are solved properly as far I can judge from the comments. Unless you have some negative expierences with this seller I'm afraid you made a remark without foundation. |

Well it is from Hermann Historica
http://www.hermann-historica.de/aukt...GB&db=A-50.txt It seems a bit odd to me too. They are also trading on the Barakat Gallery name. There is none in Germany from what I have seen. |

Just as Ben said, it happends everywhere. It is bought for resell at Hermann Historica.
I saw some one buying a shamshir in a Dutch auction house. Next day I found the item on ebay. The guy bought it to make profit on the sword, knowing that he could sell it for much more than he bought it. Nothing illegal and nothing special |
