What are the odds that this is real?

This looks suspicious to me . I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole, but thats just me , when stuff has no provenance , so ,you do as you please.

I think don bible needs to weigh in on this one ...Don are you out there today for comment ?? Price (B.I.N.) seems low, and hails from one of the most dangerous places to buy truck.(truck: paper goods, and collectibles) Don will likely have the real skinny on gestapo ID's. Should make an interesting thread for discussion.(don't let my comment discourage you yet)

it also seems he has an Abwehr ID for sale too. And yeah, a guy from the Ukraine with no previous sale history is as weird as it gets.

Ohhhh my eyes!!!!

Both are complete and utter rubbish.

There are plenty of original examples posted in the police forum.

Not like any Gestapo identification that I have ever seen!!

The rivet with the swastika is a nice original touch! VERY inventive fellow. Same with the embossed "seal" on the pass book. No expense spared in making these. You really have to appreciate the effort compared to the junk produced in the 70's. Still junk, but looks way more cool.

They are made in the Soviet patters, which the seller is probably familiar with. The chance of being original: ZERO.

Bob, that is exactly what I was thinking, they reminded me of old Soviet documents from the 1950-60's.

Still kind of scary- imagine if the skill and effort put into this was put into something accurate!
