READ THIS FIRST: If you are an "Order Grump," "Order Assassin," "Self-Styled Expert," or some other form of internet tabloid, negative feedback leaving antagonist, PLEASE DO NOT BID AND DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND MY TIME!  To my Frontier friends around the world - Greetings Brother & Sister Veterans! We know who we are!  Tally Ho! The Tickler: So, YOU want a Noble Title, Feudal Title, entry into an Order of Chivalry, or some similar attainment - OKAY - I can help you - but I want to explain to you a few things first - AND - since I want you to feel comfortable, and I want you to have a good understanding of what you are getting into, I will give you the most popular questions and my responses FREE in this offer - please READ everything completely - you are responsible for your own comprehension and understanding of the material that I present . . .  The Questions: (1) Who are you?  Is this for real? Fair enough - my name you have, google me, there is more than enough information on the internet (none of which I posted) that defines who I am and what I am about, some of the entries are about my father - we have similiar names - both of us are veterans, military officers, professionals, and armigerous nobles.  As far as this offer being 'real' well, it is as real as anything can be AND that is subjective - if by real you mean (a) will my country club accept it?  I don't know; (b) will my church accept it? That depends on the Church; (c) can I wear it on my uniform? That depends on the regulations of the country you live and the uniform you wear; (d) can I post it to my resume? Sure - BUT these types of honors typically do not enhance a resume - at least not the kinds of resumes I have reviewed when hiring personnel.  FACE IT - if you are reading this YOU want something (a title or honor) to distinguish YOU from others just like YOU - YOU were not or are not satisfied with the genes YOU were granted or the opportunities presented YOU and YOU wish to improve YOUR PERSONAL SATISFACTION - that is okay - that is why I am making this information available - I want to help YOU! (2) Am I BUYING an honor? Categorically NO - there are NO honors that can be purchased for ANY PRICE and frankly, the highest and most desired honors are both unattainable and freely granted.  You do need to understand stratified society - if, like me, you live in an egalitarian, democratic, republic rife with post-modern, secular humanist ideals, where the rule of law is paramount and reinterpreted to suit the situation than WELCOME TO THE MACHINE!  For those of us where this is true, typically you realized young that you had to work hard to get along and if you had good genes but limited finances than the best bet would be a university education and entry as an officer into a national military service - for most - this satisfies the urge that brought you to this offer . . .  For some, more is wanted AND that is OKAY!  For most otherwise qualified persons (university degree and military commission) entry into an Order of Chivalry is the most direct entry into the nobility as ALL Knights are Nobles, but not ALL nobles are Knights - and this is generally within the grasp of most persons of quality and means - one only needs to find a sponsor - and again, I can and do want to help you (and through your purchase will basically become your sponsor) and you must understand that even still, Knighthood as a 'vocation' is not inexpensive - in antiquity the 'knight' as a field commander was responsible for all of the materiel of war (horses, armor, men-at-arms, and the maintenance and equipage of all - and had to provide this from his own purse) - most (if not all of these knights) served in chief of military service to a more senior knight - this society evolved and stratified over time, but still exists today, though the advent of gunpowder made the armored knight irrelevant in combat and as such they evolved into "gentlemen" and military "officers".  In ancient Roman society there were the Patricians, Equestrians, and Plebeians - more recently there were the Estates General of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Estates- there were differences and similarities in both.  Simply put - the 1st Estate / Patricians were closed to entry and the lowest estate could rise to enter the 2nd Estate (Clergy) or Equestrian Order (military officers) through merit or service - much of the same is true today.  Even now, the highest ranks of Knights can obtain titled nobility of name - but as in antiquity it is true even now - the newly noble are as reviled as the newly rich - and true nobility is ONLY perfected in the third generation after entry - where it becomes nobility of blood . . .  YES there are fees and donations associated with entry - this is common; there are also costs associated with purchasing insignia and uniforms; there are also costs associated with attending convents, instruction, and annual conclaves - IF you do not have the means to fully contribute, you should rethink your intent - IN THE MODERN AGE - the weapon of choice of a knight is the pen AND the field of honor is the checkbook - THIS is the very VOCATION  of the modern Knight to fund hospitals, hospices, schools, feed the hungry, cure the sick, and financially support the Church - this is a mechanism to increase in the laity a sense of spiritual discipleship and financial stewardship!  Many are called, few are qualified, fewer are chosen, only the dedicated remain!  IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THIS, UNDERSTAND THIS, AND ADOPT THIS AS YOUR WORLD VIEW - YOU SHOULD NOT BECOME A KNIGHT! (3) How do I know this is legitimate?  That is a REALLY GOOD QUESTION!  Sadly there are no really good answers!  Here is my answer - there is a continuum of experience in matters nobiliary, chivalric, and heraldic - this continuum ranges from the unquestionably legitimate in the gift of a seated Sovereign (King of Spain, Queen of England, Holy Father, etc.) to the gift of formerly regnant, exiled, or pretended thrones recognized as legitimate by a seated Sovereign (any formerly regnant Crown recognized by the above, etc.) to harmless entertainment (most everything else), to the nut fringe (sadly growing every day).  Generally speaking a national government recognizes only its own Orders and Honors but, by convention, may recognize as valid the valid honors of other valid governments - this varies by jurisdiction.  You are cautioned that IF you are the subject of a Sovereign - you should take caution in accepting foreign honors - most Sovereigns take a dim view to this practice AS IF THEY (the Sovereign YOU are subject to) THOUGHT YOU WERE WORTHY, THEY (that same Sovereign) WOULD HAVE DECORATED YOU . . .  Again, for the most part, military service and veteran status will satisfy MOST of these needs - there are few governments that fail to reward the service of thier veterans . . .  (4) There is a lot of stuff on the internet that suggests that this is bogus - how do I know the difference? How do I know you are not bogus? Can you prove to me that you are what you say you are? Again, these are REALLY GOOD QUESTIONS!  First the arrogant part - it is beneath the dignity of a noble - any noble - to submit to the scrutiny of those to whom they are not subject - through your purchase you are coming to me, not the other way around - and I encourage you to read Machiavelli's "The Prince" this text will explain the relationship to you, BUT, I submit to you that I have no agenda, I am not in the business of exclusion, and I want to help you!  Whatever you may have read on the internet, know that there is as much reliable information out there as there is garbage.  Ask yourself also - what legitimate end can be attained by excluding honorable, otherwise qualified persons from entry onto honors - I submit to you that it is the same as it has always has been - control!  By my placement of this information in the public domain, I have created myself a target of opportunity for those who would seek to obfuscate, control entry, and exclude.  The folks who put up the internet tabloids slander and libel with impunity because the internet forum is beyond the pale of law - be your own judge - do your own research!  Still, if it is proof that you seek - I submit that should you submit a proper petition for information, submitted through the appropriate channels, 100% of my bona fides may be independently verified as public fact! (5) There are other titles and honors available on Ebay!  They don't cost as much as yours - why should I pay what you are asking?  What is the difference?  These too are good questions - here is my answer - there ARE many offers on Ebay and ALL of the offers have merit, some are better than others.  I refer you to my earlier answer regarding the continuum of experience . . .  Unlike many folks on the internet who point fingers and enter into virulent, vitriolic diatribes about the bogus, and the charlatan, and the low-life (some of the Frontier's favorite terms) I will simply state that some things are intrinsically more valuable than others and one must evaluate one's desired end-state when measuring the value of an honor - this is to say that if you petition a vendor for an honor and it is granted - there was value in your request and in your reciept - if this was recognized by noone other than he who gave it and you who recieved it, then it HAD merit and value - the end result was in that instant certain.  IF however your intent is that OTHER institutions, persons, activities recognize the value of a given honor, than it is incumbent upon the person petitioning the honor to ensure that it will meet thier needs BEFORE petitioning - generally speaking the successor state to a now exiled or non-regnant Crown DOES NOT and WILL NOT recognize those honors, in a like manner exiled Crowns are under NO obligation to recognize the acts of anyone other than themselves; this is true of other institutions or activities and can become complicated in the extreme - this is why I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU to do YOUR research prior to entry into or petitioning for an honor . . . The offer: WHAT YOU GET: YOUR PURCHASE GUARANTEES THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE INFORMATION ABOUT, WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE FROM, AND HERITABLE ENTRY INTO THE COURT OF HONOR OF A NON-REGNANT, EXILED, EUROPEAN CROWN RECOGNIZED BY AND IN UNION WITH THE HOLY SEE.  IF AFTER YOU HAVE ESTABLISHED ENTRY AND CORRESPONDENCE WITH THIS CROWN, OTHER HONORS MAY POTENTIALLY BECOME AVAILABLE TO YOU! WHAT THIS IS NOT: YOU ARE NOT PURCHASING A TITLE OF HONOR, YOU ARE NOT PURCHASING AN ORDER OF CHIVALRY! This offer includes 100% guaranteed "spot-on" advice and information on the topics of Noble Titles, Nobility, Pontifical Equestrian Orders of Chivalry, Chivalric Orders of Knighthood in Union with the Holy See, Knights, Chivalry, and Heraldry!  You get unprecedented email access to me with nearly immediate and frequent answers to your questions!  I have NUMEROUS and SIGNIFICANT contacts throughout academia, the professions, and among families of name that MAY be able to assist you with you interest in ANY of the above referenced topics.  If you have a desire to learn how you may obtain legitimate entry into an 100% Unquestionably Legitimate Modern Chivalric Order (Order of Knighthood), etc. than the information that you gain here MAY save you valuable TIME, MONEY, DISAPPOINTMENT, and perhaps more importantly EMBARRASSMENT!  This auction offers accurate, courteous, and timely advice on the referenced topics.  I will make myself available to you via email to give you direct and prompt advice!  IF AFTER WE CORRESPOND, AND YOU REMAIN INTERESTED, AND ARE OTHERWISE QUALIFIED, I WILL PUT YOU INTO CONTACT WITH LEGITIMATE ORDERS AND LEGITIMATE NOBLE HOUSES LOYAL TO THE HOLY SEE THAT MAY FURTHER ASSIST YOU IN YOUR INTEREST! You MUST do YOUR research, you already know that there is much information in the public domain on these and similiar matters - there is as much disinformation as well - I encourage you to read ALL available information and make informed decisions for yourself!  I stand on my credentials AND encourage you to ask questions and satisfy your curiosity! Wherein it has been often remarked that knowledge is power, I would add that the skillful deployment of that power yields wisdom - ARM YOURSELF! CAVEAT EMPTOR! DO YOUR RESEARCH - I recommend Chev. Peter Bander van Duren's EXCELLENT TEXT on Orders, Award's, Knighthood, and the Holy See - his work is to my mind PIVOTAL and WITHOUT RIVAL!  In this age, the ONLY awards / gifts that are 100% Unquestionably Legitimate are those originating from a seated sovereign or a formerly regnant Crown in exile recognized as such by a seated sovereign - anything else is suspect and subject to debate.  KNOW THAT THERE ARE NO legitimate or accredited "Commissions" that recognize Nobility or Honors!  Only the ACTS of seated Sovereigns or those recognized as such by seated Sovereigns is fully legitimate! Please note that my services in this matter are of offer only for the purpose of, and limited to, advice and information on the referenced matters, this information is not and is not intended to be legal advice.  If you have a real interest in these topics, you already know that the small amount you pay here to learn how to negotiate the obstacles to entry and pitfalls to progression correctly, is nothing compared to the amount you may waste if you proceed without sound advice!  Still, I can not and do not warrant that any advice or information that I give will result in a favorable response to any petition for Honors that you may later make on the basis of the information gained through discourse with me.  I do assert that my advice and information may save you valuable time, money, disappointment, and embarrassment in your adventure through the entry processes of these activities and attainments!  Rather than spend your valuable time and money on a questionable maybe, take a guaranteed risk for the real deal.  Thank you for looking at my offer and for taking the time to read it through; I wish you and your House Good Luck and look forward to your correspondence.  Cheers! On Aug-30-08 at 05:53:13 PDT, seller added the following information: GREETINGS - It has been brought to my attention by a trusted friend that this auction has been victimized by intellectual property theft and linked, without the permission of the owner, to a scandalous 'scam' website operating from an island in the Pacific . . .  In point of fact, those of you who have visited the 'scam' website should know that its owner, a former friend, was himself a Pontifical Knight (St. Gregory the Great) and he accepted entry into that Honor through direct recommendation of a ranking Prelate through that Prelate's Agent on through to the Cardinal Secretary of State, he also was the recipient of validly signed, sealed, and executed credentials gained through this process - ask him!  He won't deny it - better still - pay your dollar (far less then the cost of this auction and many times less than the value of my time in sharing my information with you) and I will give you proof - and put you into direct contact with those who helped him - incidentally the very people that he slanders with his present internet site.  It is a sad business really - a cowardly internet attack from behind a faceless pseudonym - I can think of nothing that would give greater comfort to the enemies of Christianity and Christian Chivalry than for Christian Knights to behave in such a manner.  Oh and far from a 'crass simpleton' that the owner of that site would call you for paying your dollar and asking a question - I encourage POLITE and COLLEGIAL discourse!  Please visit Kusza's site, please also visit Sainty's, Velde's, Bradford's, Henderson-Hill's, Wettin's, Worley's, Caltrap's, Wooten's, Goff's, .heraldry, and .royalty - YES - PLEASE visit them all - PLEASE READ THEM ALL - and along with some accurate and valuable information you will be entertained for hours with reversal, contradiction, and innuendo.  Rather than attack people from the relative safety of the internet hiding under the banner of an otherwise honorable paramilitary organization, on a Pacific Island free from recourse to American slander and libel laws, I will be glad to answer direct questions - EVEN BETTER - any 'alleged' victim as cataloged on the 'scam' site, who contacts me in good faith, I give you my word as an Officer and Gentleman that I will help you work through and solve your issue to the best of my ability, we will conduct our process via ground post, AND I will offer independently verifiable proof of my actions and intent - I challenge anyone else to give you an offer or a guarantee like that! One more note - I warned you to do YOUR RESEARCH - I warn you again - IF THE ORDER YOU ARE LOOKING AT IS NOT LISTED AS VALID IN +CARDINALES' BOOK, IT IS NOT RECOGNIZED BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.  In viewing or purchasing my auction you have agreed to be bound by its terms as indicated above.  In purchasing this auction, you have bought ONLY information - NOTHING ELSE - this IS NOT A TITLE OF HONOR - THIS IS INFORMATION.  This auction is 100% money-back guaranteed - information is FREE - what you do with it is up to you! Cheers! Place a Bid!
