He sent this hat also. He put a sticker over the swastika since they can't display it in czech. Is this hat fake also??

Ok, seeing that you are from the US, I was more open to give these a chance at first because they might have been from a local seller. Now I know the seller is Czech, it confirms my doubts. Stay away from this guy, I've seen his offerings on ebay before, all fake, no question. Good job you posted here first.

thanks

thank you. Just to clarify, this guy has not posted on ebay before. He wouldn't even know what ebay is. I bought a german cross in gold from him, verified to be original, for just $250. He lives in a town of 14,000 people. But he may have unknowingly bought these items (which i'm sure he did) from someone that tricked him. Now he thinks they are original and is trying to sell them as such. I will stay away from them.

Wise move...I don't know kepi's that well but I have my doubts on it based on the few originals I have seen.

The photos and items look exactly like they are from a Czech seller on ebay that I've seen before.
It's up to you how you use this information. I'm pretty much spent with trying to offer help on this forum right now.

The aging on the visors looks very artificial to me. Check out that “ring around the insignia”

Looks much too un-natural to me

Whoah

BenVK, I am the silent majority and you are someone who's posts I respect and enjoy. Please keep your opinions posted.

All 3 are not good to me either. Looks like Frankensteins to me too.

**stonemint** · 07-31-2007, 09:44 PM

All 3 are Frankys--in fact, the first 2 look like they were made by the same "doctor"--the SOB used some real parts, especially linings. The green piping sure has a funky texture.

thanks

Thank you to everyone. You all saved me a lot of expense and grief. I can't thank you enough. I guess this czech seller from ebay is apparently selling to some of his local shops now too, and passing them off as original. I will email the person that sent them to me and give him the bad news. I will give him some of the specifics that you all saw that showed these are bad. Again many thanks.

I woudn't dare purchase a Waffen-SS headgear piece before BenVk or NTZ give a green light

**Paul70** · 08-03-2007, 01:26 PM

The Kepi has drunk stitching. Does not look good to me.

The Kepi Is A Fake And Not Even A Good One. All Of These Hats Are Trash.
