I got these envelopes in a trade. The guy just threw them in on a deal and I figured they were fake. What do y'all think?

- the adressfield/ form of adress:
normally it was usual in the salutation for persons no " AN " ( this was usual later / post war times)
If it was used to a person, so it was only written: : Herr or Frau or Fräulein ( or Familie)
( and mostly the salutation was a little " outside " to the left , so also not all in a vertical row , from the top to the end , because the sender was on the reverse, so on the whole front was enough place !!)
" An or An das " only for institutions or companies( without personal name ) .
- In the adress, the town was written , underlined ( or double underlined ) and then followed the street + Number, so it stands at last - not the other way around - you see here !!
on this shown envelopes it's usual today ( + town code ) - not in the former ( war ) years
- The / a handwritten sender adress should be written on the reverse side of the envelope. ( former norm or possible on the front but in a 90 degree angle crosswise on the left ( but not so common , but in later times ), if the envelope doesn't have an official pre printed sender name on the front !!
This kind is usual " today". ( other DIN norm )
Also they should / could have a stamp on the reverse from the office sending adress ( if possible ) .
So it seemed that someone had old envelopes and an old type-writer with the SS- button. but he wrote in the " todays style " ( he do not much DD in front - his mistake ) - IMO
