LW cap at Gottlieb auction

[Robert Shoaf]

Listing # 5591. It does not look authentic to me; that pebbled underside to the visor is a no-no.
Pink is a rare piping, and I have held in my hands another cap from this "maker", a bad LW HG cap, with the same type peak.
Opinions would be welcomed.

Floch fake....

The Heer m43 cap is fake too....

And the Panzer fieldacp appears to be a reproduction also....bad pic there though.

Well, Craig must still be visiting the forum--he has re-listed the hat as a repro:

I was asked from Mr. Craig to post it on his behalf:
-----------------------------------------------------
The hat was reclassified because you are of course correct, it is a reproduction. Although I no longer visit WAF, members are always watching out for me, and alert me whenever there is a discussion about an item we are offering. My auction is one of the most “vetted” auctions on the planet due to my high profile, and mistakes DO make it through to the pre-auction preview, but almost never to the actual auction. If anybody has an issue with other items listed, I encourage you to begin a discussion on them. I did resign from WAF in 2014 (and was subsequently expelled, however that works), so I won’t be contributing to the discussion.

I was wondering what some of our experts think of the August Müller LW general's visor on Craig's auction.

I was wondering about that one as well--did AM produce LW General's caps?

Except for the triple Erel Heer General on his site, I would stay away from the others.

Perfect.

The Johann Frey Pink-piped LW visor went for $565.55 even after being listed as a repro....

The "Muller" went for $3,049.99
