RUDALL CARTE Pitch C or Db Flute? DON'T be Shamed by Gem's Flute History Channel

Description

The supplied head joint does not conform to the bore length given the length of the body and foot. It is not under testing a high pitch flute but may have been fitted with the accompanied head joint to dound as such. With a shouter head joint the scale is intoned at D Flat @ A=435 - 436

This is an excerpt from News OPINION
Article to be published in several flute forums, and online sales and auction sites to warn people who have inherited  or find these instruments to beware of a group of
individuals
on social media who I believe have created an international syndicate to rip off owners of important flutes.
This is a purportedly a High Pitch, however the supposed Rudall "Expert (?)" Robert Biggio, whom I contacted at through the Facebook Group "The Flute History Channel" could not confirm, nor does he have the length of the body and foot of a High Pitch C Flute.
He has not property (if at all)
documented
or measured the length of the body and foot, or the tone hole spacing, hone hole diameter.
His associated came forward on the "Flute History Channel" on Facebook to tell me that bore and tone hole diameter does not matter, and and woodwind
acoustician
would tell you that is outright nonsense and a lie.
If Biggio
documented
the dimensions of the various Rudall flute pitch dimensions, which any expert should,  has is not sharing that
information, with people who are trying to place a fair value on their flutes for sale.  perhaps because he profits by proving information on Rudall exclusively for the click, or group of individuals who have been effectively stealing flutes from people by providing false values.
If so, confirms to me my suspicion that an individual named "Gem" on  that group, along with others who come forward when people join the group and ask about their flute's value, are providing false value estimates to purchase flutes at a low cost, but literally scamming heirloom and important historical flute for the profit. I was even given an improbable year for this flute, in order to try and prove it is a high pitch instrument. However the serial number and  aspects of
key work
falls between two flutes as the Musical Instrument Museum in South Dakota, and the tool stamping for the name is identical to those instruments during an era where several pitch conventions overlap, or were used in specific countries, or for specific ensembles that used those conventions..
Is Biggio in on the scam? Not certain. Is there a scam going on in the Flute History Channel? I absolutely believe that to be the case.
In fact I have had to end auctions on flutes because of bid manipulation, cancellations as many of their members associated with that group have several eBay accounts.
High Pitch flute, not exactly, but when I tested it it also plays in D Flat at A= 435.
