SS Summer visor cap on HH 82, Lot 6342

[wolfslair44]

My tunic is missing the visor. One day hopefully! Here is my contribution. Taking my time with this one to resemble Wunsche. Still looking for a circa '37-'39 LAH officer CT and officer LAH cyphers.

Hi,

Stangell, HH is proposing an old fake SS tuxedo badge for 20k, so this fake summer cap is a bargain.

Below you will find pictures of the Erich Kempka said summer cap, courtesy of Ulric Woodhams book "Allgemeine-SS 1933-1945".
You will also find close-up period pictures of SS-Standartenführer Karl Koch and a member of the SS-Reiterstandarte 7.

See You

Vince

Nice pic of a Reiterstandarte 7 collar tab

Merci!

When looking for LAH cyphers be very, very careful.

Me and some advanced (insignia) collector friends have not seen a single original LAH cypher for officers or NCOs on any (!) of the major dealers sites in months. It's completely crazy (and majorly disturbing)...

Thanks Markus, I agree, I think I have seen only one shoulder board featuring an NCO LAH.

Not even that (recent) one I'm afraid and to my great disappointment...

Would that include Hannahs Reich ?

The cap got sold for 16.000 euro's....

[Robert H]

plus the %?

That I call a criminal fraud!

[RubenStrating]

16.000 + 25%. So the buyer paid 20k.... My god.

Nooooo coming back from that

[Military]

Is there a recourse if the the buyer wishes to dispute the purchase as a repro?

[Robert H]

I would not care if the do or not, lawyer would do all this and amen.

Did anyone 'sum up' the flaws that are present on this visor that indicate it's a fake cap.

Presumably there's more than just the top isn't piped in silver wire...

Inquiring minds want to know.
