Alleged Screen Used Hero TOS Phaser up for auction (now the aftermath)

[Gregatron]

Sigh.

I hope the Jein props make it to their new owners intact.

perpetrators of the 2021 fraud to pull something l

Is there a thread or article that calls out said fraudsters?

And I was in Dallas on Tuesday to look at items I wanted to bid on. Mr 7101 took it all though.

Did anyone keep a record of what went to Bidder 7101, or corresponding bidders on other major items? I certainly grew tired of hearing that bidder number...

I caught some of the auction live but didn't know if there was a recording.

A gentleman on Facebook has shared several pictures of props he acquired from Greg Jein the phaser is an obvious replica that he believes is a screen used phaser.. I am sure someone recognizes the maker

 

[Chrisisall]

Don't look at me- I didn't make that.

 

[AdmiralBaxter]

Lol you are not even suspected of this lol

Here are some more pics of said phaser

Looks legit to me, it's obviously one of the 286 phasers made for the show.

I've been told that since it's from the Rugg family collection that there's no way it can be a fake.....

Like we've been told that before

 

[Chrisisall]

That handle is terrible.

 

[Ronldheld]

So is legit or not?

 

[Gregatron]

Of course not.

 

[AdmiralBaxter]

So is legit or not?

It's definitely a fake.... It's kind of sad the current owner has been fooled... He was apparently told it was a B&W that lost the P1 and the owner before him claimed to replace the P1 and covert it to the BGB.....

 

[Ronldheld]

I thought that I could get another pair of eyes to check.
Should I even contemplate how many Jein 's props are not legitimate?

IF they are from the Jein collection then they have the best chance of being real. I've poked enough holes in the owners story about this phaser that he blocked me on FB after bringing up some of the simple known facts.

 

[Gregatron]

I have no doubt that, like many of us, Mr. Jein collected replicas and fakes just to collect them, and not necessarily because he thought they were real.

I doubt he collected fakes. I know I wouldn't buy a replica advertised as the real deal even IF I could afford it...
