Please don't think that I am saying "antything goes" in regards to tunic insignia attachment. I am saying that I have heard a tremdous amount of incorrect rules, mostly at shows, on what is right and what is wrong.[/QUOTE]
That's exactly what I think and that applies to "trusted authorities" whose judgement is taken as it was carved in stone!
A little example;I pointed out once to one of these "trusted authorities" that a few of his listings weren't what he described them to be (further.....ever heard of a 'trusted militaria collector/dealer' who doesn't know what a universally-known WW2 German acronym means even if items coming from his very own collection are featured in books dealing with a certain branch and are stamped with these letters up the whazoo?
)and guess what?He very politely told me that he didn't want me as a customer anymore
!Oh well.....last thing I bought from him was a MINT,GENUINE pair of field gray Hermann Goering Sturmartillerie trousers which he listed as M43 and which I bough at a fraction of the price....ROLLING ON THE CARPET LAUGHING
