New style wool in fakes

[Johnny R]

Looks like they are starting to use a more correct wool but the cuts are still wrong. The ribbed stuff maybe now has been detected. I can't believe people are buying the crap. Does anyone ever see this stuff at shows?

This one looks like a Janke tunic?

Tunic

Hard tell but a better monkey then the usual ones. The stamps are wrong and like the ones in the bad really tunics made of the ribbed material. They seem to always cut the patterns wrong. I think it is from using real examples that are assembled to make patterns for the fakes, the copies always look different in how they hang. He made the bidders invisible too. The return policy is entertaining too. You need his permission to return it after you get it.

We should be thankful they are cutting the patterns wrong. Otherwise, it would get much harder to tell repros from originals.

When they hide bidder's ID's it's usually a sign something just isn't right. People can't warn potential bidders about the item and also can't detect if "shills" are bidding up the bids either

Check this turd out! Another "original" ebay wrap. This dealer is a real s*it head. He has about a dozen tunics and pants for sale and all are "original" POSs.

Everything he is selling is fake, there seems to be a ring of these guys in Belgium or the same person with multiple seller ids. That is too bad, people are eating this stuff up. Smart to list on US Ebay, he can't get into to much trouble over there. I remember a lot of Belgian dealers that knew they were selling fakes even in the 80's. Too bad for the unawares.

On this one, the size markings are in the "classic" Janke typeface. A dead giveaway by itself.

Hell

There is special place in hell for these guys

[pzrwest]

well there is a way to get these guys just log on to ebay and complain that it is an offensive posting and they should pull the add. They pull them for less

[Tim Curley]

Maybe the bidders simply see the items as the repros they are but think they can buy them for a cheap price for reenactment, display, or to scam someone else.

The field grey wrapper offered is interesting in that it includes at "no extra cost" a Gold TDB which is obviously a low-grade fake. After reading the thread on N&T high-end fakes, this seller is covering the other end of the spectrum.
