Talk:Ancient Order of Freesmiths

Dubious organisation

I am doubtful about the notability of this organisation and the veracity of its claims as put forth in this article. There does not seem to be any German source whatsoever for this purported "1300 years old" German secret society. The linked source is mostly the (American) organisation's website, which lists dubious or wrong statements (depiction of the Carolingian "Schöffen" as being recruited from bladesmiths, etymology of the word "Schöffe", all displaying a lack of historical knowledge and familiarity with the German language), and the site seems to have a commercial background, peddling a booklet for $20. 2003:F9:870B:BA00:951:7EE3:93E:7985 (talk) 05:13, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
