Here you will find the archives of five years (over 250 pages) worth of the Letters From Mr Royster.

The essay,  “Anatomy of a Fraud” which deals with the fraudulent Rodin statue scandal is Anatomy of a Fraud.  This story,  while not dealing explicitly with militaria,  illustrates the means and methods used in the WWII German Militaria Collecting Market to dupe the unwary into paying top dollar for provable frauds.
