The only way to know if these are real is to know where they were since the War. If you cannot establish where it came from etc. I would never buy it.

The hat you can match up to originals and if good thats something to grab..

The tcherkessa is tough.. The ones made at the former Soviet movie studios
are in my opinion when made correctly [and many were] just about indistinguishable from authentic ones.. also, even an old one [non 3rd Reich] is so very easy upgraded to Nazi with a few pieces of insignia that I wouldn't pay anything really crazy for unless there was some sort of provenance..
The hat being good and if the ensemble is a good price , yeah, why the hell not..

,,,just niticed the POA shield... That throws me a little. POA, cosack,,not really a good match.. Maybe I'm wrong,,but I just haven't seen that combo around. Cossak is Cossack,,,POA is something else. I realize they do share some of the same insignia but,,, Lets see what some of the others say..

*question: What color is the top of the hat?

just curious .... what are the things that look like cigars on the front of that jacket?

There a stylized "Gaziri" and were oriignally used to hold powder rifle cartridges over time they became part of the jacket style and were usually made of wood dowels. I just saw the seller and auction listing. The other items he is selling I am familar with are IMO aged fakes so I would proceed with caution,

Put together.This same seller from France also had a Dutch tunic and m40 cap that were bad.Remember those pics I sent you G?He apparently had a tantrum when I told him his items were ones I would not want in my collection.

He also is selling a Nebel crusher which is deemed fake by the Cap kings. I would stay away. I would never buy anything like this unless it had an air tight verifiable story.
