Fake alert : Ulric of England
Here's a dealer I heard being quoted on a forum as :
- Seller is correct even if he's direct with customers. Generally provinding with some scarce items
- at least all dealers experience fakes a day in their life.
Problem is his inventory is mostly made up of fakes , particularly SS helmets but also many many other.
He also works with what he calls provenance letters which of course mean nothing if the helmets are fake.
Provenance: Signed document from the consigner confirming how the helmet was acquired in in 2005.
Provenance: A letter from the consigner states how they acquired the helmet in the late 1970s / early 1980s.

The site is awful and the pics are pure crap: small..bad light, etc... add to this the fact that he sells also fakes... the circle is closed
Here he is selling an ET SS fake which has a similar lot number as authentic SS helmets.
Notes: This helmet is detailed on page 137 of Brian Ice's publication on German steel helmets. Helmet with numbering 'ET 68' and '801' being listed as a single decal Waffen-SS helmet. A copy of the relevant pages included in the sale. Additionally a copy taken from Kelly Hick's website showing a similar 'canted' decal SS M40 single decal helmet. This helmet with batch number '842'.
Additional notes: A part of a collection of SS helmets being disposed of through ULRIC of ENGLAND. This helmet purchased by the consigner in the early 1980s and remaining in their collection until now.

Unfortunately this guy portrays himself as the premier TR dealer in UK with prices to match............and everything sells!!!!
Some people will get the scare of their life once they want to resell those pieces.
