Guys,
Iam posting these photos with the permission of the owner of two identical WW1 Stonegrey Hosen for open and honest comments. They are both marked the same and last week there was an identical pair for sale on ebay.de. THREE pairs, so there has got to be more out there. All marked and made the same. Blacklight shows nothing and they are very well made. We would both like to know.
1. Are they original WW1 German
2. If not who made them or when
3. If they are reproduction, why are they so close if not Identical to original Hosen.
4. If repro. why would they not show anything under blackight.
We are aware of the unusual buttons ( common to all three pairs ) along with the identical size and issue stamp.
This is the Third pair we have seen in less than twelve months. Now I was told years ago a bundle of WW1 German greatcoats (original) were found all with the same markings and issue stamps. Could this be a similar happening? Could we be that lucky? or is there something more sinister going on here?
The overhaul workmanship is very good to excellent.
Any opinions Gentlemen??
Please allow me to post the pictures first.
Eric.
