"Turning The Blind Eye Sale"
This has nothing to do with Stadeum/Sprachfuehrer or the tropical straps mentioned here. What it is an example of how fakers monitor sites like this and what comes up. It also has to do with what I call "Turning The Blind Eye" eye to make a sale.

Look at the Heeres Sportschule 1. Model Feldbluse Unteroffizier strap in #1458 of the above thread. It belongs to "Stive" (congratulations) and absolutely stunning.
In a short time after he posted this, a pair of doctored 1. Model Feldbluse straps, having been taken apart and the "SS" appears on eBay.de. They are obviously bad; but, evidently they sell. A short time later they end up on a dealer/collector site for sale. I was stunned. Someone buys them and then asks me about them. I telling I think they are fakes. He gets his money back; but, in my opinion they should have never been put up for sale. Now they are back on eBay.de:

Another thing I am skeptical of is the many 1. Model Feldbluse NCO (ranks above Unteroffizier) with GD cyphers on them. Well, these style straps were worn throughout the war photographic evidence shows; but, how many Fotos of GD personnel have you seen wearing them?
