The Armour Archive

I remember a few months back we had a seller on ebay from Croatia listing other peoples work on ebay, is this the same guy?

Does anybody recognize the armor in question? At the very least, I doubt there is anything there, since (even with $80 shipping) a .99 cent 12 gauge spring steel helm is slightly incredulous.

I know those helmet pictures look really familiar... I bid on it just to keep an eye on it. $170 would be an awesome price for that even in 12g mild..

Half tempted to do the buy it now and see what actually comes, I can always file with ebay and paypal if it's a scam

those pics look very familiar. I KNOW I've seen them recently and not for 100 dollars or from Croatia either. Jolly Knight maybe? Age of Craft?

Yep - he is definitely filching pictures from other listings.

Here is Andrew Galevskiy Coberg Bascinet (Trevor bought it, so I will get to see it in person)

Exact same picture.

Here are all his listings, and they ALL look like pictures I've seen here on the AA from Ukrainian armorers....

Makes me curious if this is a complete scam or if he is just doing a knockoff of Andrews stuff?

Half tempted to buy it now just to see what (if anything) actually arrives- I should be pretty covered since it's through Paypal and ebay...

The Country/Region of Manufacture in the ebay listings is listed as Germany...

location is also listed as ¸Karlovac, default, Croatia, Republic of

Your only covered for a few weeks from date of purchase.
Transet and customs can eat most or all of that time.

Google and tineye.com can do a reverse image search making it a bit easier to catch copyright issues.

I have also seen those photos before. Don't remember where but not that long ago.

Yep, that was it. Knew I had seen them recently and I knew I was associating them with a Ukraine armourer.

Just sent Andrey Galevskiy a FB message letting him know about it. I don't know what he can do but at least he should know its happening

Did you hear back from Andrew about this yet?

Red flags always go up with zero feedback and a plethora of value items..

Brucer- I did not hear back from Andrey but I didn't really phrase the message in such a way that expected a reply. He's seen it so He should be aware of the situation, thats what matters.
