I live in Hong Kong and nearby there is a shop that sells militaria, German and Russian, all mainland imports I daresay. (Unless in the unlikely event he really does have mint condition SS helmets!) . He mixes it up with geniune old lead soldiers and real HK Police surplus gear.
There was another place just down the road that did medals.Comment

Hi Bill, just from the pictures those are some 'scary' looking o'seas caps. Hopefully they are using repro insig. Those 'show-off dollys' must have moved somwhere new. Have fun over there.

This company "Schmidt & Sohn" also rebuild old repros to make them more accurate. I used to have a friend who lived down the street from me....she was from Tokyo...I had her look at the site once( around 2004) and translate it. They had some projects displayed on the site at that time and explained what the caps were(older repros) and how they had disaasembled, replaced, pinched and tucked this and that to make the caps look more authentic. They also do the same with tunics.Comment

The Chinese are now getting better. Nice shape on these, although they won't fool anybody (and are being sold as repros):NEC SOLI CEDITComment
