SA Kepi on Estand

[stonemint]

I am just curious, if this is such a common fake there must be threads about them but I have yet to find one. If they are so common why can I not find another sample of one on the internet. I am at the sos and max every year looking for kepi's but have never seen one like this before. If this is a modern repo as claimed then they would be manufactured the same so surely you have photos of others that can prove your claim other then an opinion. I am not trying to start arguments but if you are going to make a claim then I expect details and other similar examples. I am under the impression that this is an original item and has been seen by many dealers and collector's and not one of them has ever questioned it's authenticity. I am not trying to be ignorant and if it is a repo then I want to know because I have to issue a refund then I have to hunt down a dealer and get my money back but there better be some proof other then an opinion. This kepi is not cheaply made and a solid construction.

BTW, who was the dealer that sold this, and who were the individuals that gave this cap a thumbs up?

To add to Stonemint's comment: the brown fabric is different than that which will be found on period kepis, piping is incorrect, construction is unlike that of original kepis.

I would still like to know who sold it and who vetted it.

Silence? I hope not. Important to get an answer.
