TKs: on cufftitle (offc.), collar tab, visor - ok?

[Gran Sasso]

Been offered today a NCOo-tunic with visor, coming from the vet (so the story). The seller let me take fotos of the insignia - any opinions?

The cufftitle skull is one that was/is considered to be original but contentious

The collar tab I like

The Overhoff cap skull is a nice original

strittig, controversial would work as well.

Sorry, I should have made it clearer ..... It was one of 3 hand embroidered styles that were shown on a '3 amigos' thread some years ago on WAF, everyone agreed at the time that they were original then , some time later, there was speculation that 1 or 2 of them were actually fakes.

I'm not sure what the concensus was in the end ..... it all got very messy at the time.

I see - price for tunic and visor (crusher-style with cloth-covered visor) is 9.000,-EUR, how does that sound?

That sounds good as the tunic itself, if insignias originally stiched would go over 10000 Euros I believe: so imagine a combo tunic/cap from the same soldier.

Yes, its all original sewn on. The tunic is a typical NCO-piece, a M42 with added green collar, and the lower pockets reworked in prewar VT / Reichswehr style.

The visor make some "problems", as the black band shows 2 vertical sewings at the side, where other visors show the chinstrap-buttons. Also, it shows 2 paralell stitching in the top of the liner, in the form of the diamond-pattern, but somewhat larger.
How does this sound?

I would have been more than happy to show some fotos, but the seller only allowed me to take the ones I have shown...
