Hello Gents,
I've had this sidecap for about 12 years after buying it from a friend, Panzer uniforms expert and author. I'm seeking your opinions on the insignia; are the eagle and cockade original or are they fake.
The sidecap is a fake, something that I learned a number of years after buying it for $1200 from this so called friend who I trusted. I only realised that I had been duped after his fall from grace when it came to light that he had been using his good reputation as an expert in the field to rip off other collectors. Little did I know when I bought this with no chance of getting my money back at the time (or now).
I've had this one sitting at the bottoms of a box and decided to sell it in the bazaar section since these caps are now commonly known as fakes.
Thank you for your time.
Mark
