    Posting anything here is asking for it to be destroyed, the insignia is fantastic! Compare the sleeve adler to the crap people accept as real here, I would be happy to own both of them.

    P.S. as stated the cuff title is unobtainable.

      Hi Jon -

      No, but I can see someone having ratty original insignia to hand - not everything out there is minty, and battered insignia is, let's face it, cheaper, even if it is rare. The insignia may be all legit, but I still do not like those boards. Hand sewn tabs, reversed boards on a high ranking tunic do give me pause.

        John ,
        Am I confused ? What boards looked reversed ??

          The shoulder boards are mounted with the "fat" button ends toward the front of the tunic - regulations stipulated that the "slimmer" ends face the front. It DID happen, but once again, with a high-ranking GO uniform, I find it at least unusual.

              The key word being "exception". I have owned some Heer tunics to majors and colonels that are the same way, but they were named and the rank matched the DA. As I said, it happened, but it is unusual.

                    Exactly , people must think it’s really easy and that someone would damage a real one to attach to a fake coat ?
                    I think this forum has become the, everything is fake if it isn’t owned by certain people forum.
                    I will never post another tunic here, because people comment just to comment. The trolls run the game here and some never owned more than a collar tab. Not every TR piece is a perfect by the book pristine example.
                    Hunt for what’s correct then find the mistakes not visa versa.

                      I think that nails it! You took a lot of abuse and most will when an off the charts SS item is posted, but this again shows the futility of so-called consensus collecting. I was involved in bringing the SS Christmas dagger to the forum and I knew where it was “found” and the real background. Near a thousand posts on that one and the poster as well as his family was insulted and besmirched by many. It is not an easy road!

                            As stated before these photo's, the items shown where outstanding one lookers and yet as usual WAF took a crap on them.
