BTW, Stefan currently owns more of my drillium than anyone else in the world; he bought his first piece from me off Ebay way back in 2007, so of course he knows quality

I used to have the greatest of respect for all of Stefan's items and descriptions. They were all of the highest quality and accuracy. Over the last three years approximately, I have seen a marked change, with many items no longer having the most accurate descriptions. I am not sure whether this should be ascribed to deceit or simply lack of knowledge. I would tend to think it is more likely that it is the latter and due to the lack of knowledge he is basing his descriptions on information received from others. It is also clear that one collector in particular, who is well-known for his over-the-top fantasy descriptions has been able to bend Stefan's ear and may be the reason for the inaccuracies that have crept into the descriptions.
His goods remain top notch and always show almost perfect presentation. As of today, I would however not necessarily take all of his descriptions as being gospel. By all means do continue to ogle and buy his highly worthy items, but do study up on the items before you bid and make sure you know what you are buying.
