Ok guys, the gentleman that i purchased all this stuff from is XX from XX, which is close to XX TX.
He would not take back the SS dot wrapper or the 4 pocket uniform and pants for BS reasons. He is not to be trusted...he has a ton of stuff. Be ware!
He goes by XX

Very sorry to hear of this George.

All advanced collectors began collecting without the wisdom they have today. Advanced or not, we've all made mistakes and experienced the bumps of the learning curve. You can see mine in the Fj Helmet Hall of Shame.

Chris' advice is very sage. There is no way anyone should purchase rare and expensive militaria like jump helmets, jump smocks, or SS camo before developing the knowledge to know whether what they are buying is good or bad.

Learn from other long time collectors, and only buy from honest trustworthy dealers. And yes, you will have to learn just who is honest and who is shady along with learning about good and bad militaria.

Refund

XX emailed me and stated that he would now refund me for the 2 ss uniforms. I will re-mail him the uniforms in the morning.
I wish him well and have stated all along that i considered him a friend and mentor.
Case closed.

thats good to hear, he is probably fed up with all the threatening e-mails and not to mention that it has tarnished his name.

a lesson learned on his behalf, dont screw over friends or anyone in fact :P

It is a two way street. Know what you are buying.
