I mean THE Hermann Goering! These pics were posted on the forum elsewhere, and are from the Imperial War Museum (allegedly). Anyone have additional pics of this grouping?

I think this was his first style RM tunic:NEC SOLI CEDIT -
Looks like replicas to me.Comment

I agree, the cap is wrong. Look at the piping. It is neither cello nor bullion. It is like a cheap plated material.Comment

Well for one, the wreath is not at all like the wreath on a Reichsmarschall cap, its the most common thing the replicators of this hat always get wrong. But I'm not sure they are trying to fool anyone. I also believe the collar tabs are reproductions. This uniform is in an English museum, if I remember correctly, but I don't think its in the IWM.Comment

The Grand Cross is a Souval while the Knight's Cross appears to be the type made in England which often is marked with an L/17.....Regards,

Maybe they had the real deal at one time but some unscrupulous curator swapped it our for a fake.

This 'type' of cap (for whatever reason) was always featured in shows put on by Joe Buffer....
Joe (was) a local promoter who hustled shows in CA and AZ and who allegedly was the ONLY non German HONOR member of SS allowed to attend re-unions etc etc..
Lots of PROMO but lacking fact!!

The IWM has a tunic attributed to Göring, but this one ain't it! I have a pic somewhere buthe low light and glass played hell with my digital. I'll see if I can scrounge it up.

The whole set-up is junk.
Although a different version, THIS is what a real Goering cap looks like:Last edited by Leroy; 03-24-2008, 10:28 PM.Comment
