Maker: Adolf Block, Cöln

Janke or other repro fantasy makers mark.

Buscho1959 is unloading these Adolf Block & Heinrich Preuss fakes on Ebay.

This is a new fantasy maker: Johann Weber Mutzenfabrikation Breslau :

Interior of above Johann Weber . He transplanted a postwar Pekuro sweatband to the fake:

Here are his other "wares":

I also want to cross-reference the Heinrich Preuss thread--all of these are coming from the same faker:

His TR ones are all bad:

Hallo Chris

From the Breslauer Adressbuch 1941:

Weber, Johann, Fabrikdirektor, XVI, Uferzeile 37, T. 42476
-- , Johann, Ladeschaffn., I, Scheitniger Straße 16
-- , Johann, Pensionär, XXI, Kopischstraße 51

Probably, "our" Johann is the first of the list. You posted a real Weber lining on a RB Kleiderkasse on 08.15.2010 (n. 574 of "post your obscure war time makers labels"). Nothing to do with this bloody fake

Excellent research (as usual!) Marcello.

He may have transplanted the top lining of a real Weber to make this abomination.

Here is another bogus Johann Weber Breslau being sold on ebay:

[stonemint]

BTW, Buscho1959 is selling the above "Johann Weber"...coincidence?!

Here is another Johann Weber (unfortunately no interior shot)--wings are crude, and all too new.

They have a lot in common with typical Latvian fakes IMO.

[stonemint]

Another Johann Weber on Ebay right now--they are a mix of original and repro parts:
