There must be a routine here by looking at the stuff and perhaps re creating some of it.

I think this was on the Café last year and someone said it was a fake. A good fake, but still a fake.
I still love it!

And yet people continue to buy them, and they will still be bought as long as there are rich people that will spend money on anything.

I need new glasses.
When I saw this topic I was really interested in what it could be, all sorts of interesting and bizarre ideas flooded through my mind. I thought it said "Vampire killing kilt" |

Lot of mistakes. This one have 3 silver crosses (a golgotha) engraved on the pistol, the book is a 1819 book with informations like "how to discover a vampire tomb", bottles are embossed and easy to date (as are all the items in the kit), the Blomberg serum is still in one of the bottles (and has been analyzed), there are 2 holy relics with their cardinal seals, protective medals against demons... |

But "Michael de Winter" is wrong, Nicolas Plomdeur and Ernst Freiherr Von Blomberg did exist. I let my friend Van Helmont tell you you about Blomberg, he made the research; and my other friend Antoine (who's working at the Invalides, the war museum in Paris) to tell you about Plomdeur.
I forgot to mention that there's an autographed photo of Blomberg in the Surnateum collection, and I think he still has a descendance today. Quote:

That's just brilliant!
I'd sure like to read the whole thing, however, and not just the introduction. Is the whole thing on line somewhere? Or is there more at the Surnateum? OK, I guess this last question I can answer myself. I'm off to do it. |

Part of it has been published on Wikipedia, but most of the real information is kept in the Surnateum Library. But Van Helmont will probably answer your question here.
Some people like "de Winter" make very stupid claims until they meet people who simply do research. The team members of the Surnateum do their homework and we have very unusual and interesting theories and studies about subjects like: what's the real origin and secret in the Tarot of Marseille, who's tomb is represented on Nicolas Poussin's painting "les Bergers d'Arcadie", who was Blomberg, when do we have the first use of silver bullets against monsters (witches, werewolves or vampires), what is probably the real cause of the famous vampiric panic in Europe during the early XVIIIth century... Every bit of information is perfectly documented. But you have to be a member of the Surnateum to gain access to that level of information. |

Some years later he emigrated to France to become leader of the Parisian workshop of his father. Amazingly, his workshop was located nearly the office of French policeman Vidocq, on whom I am currently working on… He then installed his son in it, before taking back the headquarters in liege, once his father died. The Kesselhaut firm bought back the two workshops at the end of 19th century. Archives give us strong informations... Not de Winter... |
