NSDAP visors, SA Hat Copies ??

[isht2008]

Hi,

Few years ago I sold my medalcollection because I fell in love with NSDAP headgear.
I bought at site I thought they were good.
Now I met a German collector telling me every of my visors are 100% copies.
It would break my heart, but if they are I will accept it and hopefully never make the same misteake again.

Before killing myself I want the opinion of you guys, please help me out.

First an Ortsgruppenleiter I bought private in the UK for only 300 euro.

Then a Kreisleiter bought for 1100 euro at Militarycollectables Inc.

Now a Gauleiter bought at relics of the reich for 2200 euro and an additional tax of 359 euro because of customs in Belgium which is 2589 euro in total.

A Reichsleiter bought at militarycollectables Inc for 2000 euro.

Another Orts bought private for 350 euro.

and finally a SA Hat bought private for 500 euro.

Don't kill yourself yet. Taking a quick look they look OK to me.

Dont jump from the bridge, for me all the visors are good and original Exampels. Maybe your friend like to get them cheap.......and dont belive all what the germans say :-)

I would love to see if this German collector has any examples of what he considers real. That would be interesting seeing those.

Since I have all of those, I would have been pretty sad if they were fake, thank God we are both safe!

My only concern would be with the kepi, need to see better photos of the eyelets on the inside and the chin strap just looks to new (possible replacement)
Otherwise the rest look OK to me .

Did the german collector offer to take them off your hands after declaring them fakes? If so then there real and it's one of the ploys crooked ones use I know I was taken as kid in my earlier years of collecting back in the mid 70s over a Blood Order I had. Traded it for two parts daggers that I thought I was getting the better deal on, needless to say I was wrong.

All are good. #27 is Felix Weissbach of Glauchau; #4 is CW; and #1073 is Pekuro.

I commend you on your excellent taste in headgear....
