Fake SS Erel's

[N.C. Wyeth]

This is really where these originated from IMO. Notice how they "circle the wagons" when a "questionable" item is shown.

Ground Zero for fakes

Some of these were done in K.C. and migrated to Chicago. They were done by one man (The K.C. ones that is).

One can also play "connect the dots" in KC.

Still the best single thread on the Cloth Headgear Forum.

Many lifelong Kudos to you again, SJP.....

My connection to these was through “Der Gauleiter” where I dealt with really a honest collector . I probably had / have several SS visors from him and numerous I sent back right away . He has passed on (rip) . I’ll start posting the ones I have left .
The other Erel I have is a SS Pz. It’s not from the same hand as the one I posted...it’s a beautiful piece (IMHO ) .The other visors are unmarked which I’ll post in a different thread.Cheers Steve

Steve are you talking about Gordon M ? Who used to live here in SoCal ?
