These caps aren't rare... I can go to warrelics.com and pick whatever piping I want! Generals too!

There are some killers on Beerhallputsch.com as well.

Well they kill me everytime I see them....

Wow...I just went to Beerhallputsch using Tony's link. Thanks Tony! Now I know where everyone gets all that great stuff I seem to miss. Those testimonials are real? Right? They can't make that kind of thing up can they? Why pay 6K to 15K for that SS double decal camo helmet from those expensive dealers when you can get the same thing here for a fraction of the price. I can't wait to write my testimonial after my big purchase. I think I will wait until he gets in the named SS general's wrapper for $3,500.00. Hope it has the grey striped black panzer pants with it! Third Reich Depot does have much longer testimonial letters, I guess they have more kids in creative writing to churn them out than Beer Hall Putsch does.

I do not think this tread was about showing crap piped fakes from questionable dealers. It is unfortunately too many of them!

It is however not many very good ones like Hanna`s reich, Relic`S of the reich, The collectors guild and The rupture duck. I believe these guys know much about SS visors and that they are very honest too.
Just my two cents..

Who is this GREG character and the morons buying and praising his name? I checked out a couple of his Waffen-SS tunics and what a bunch of garbage. I cannot believe anybody would be fooled by that stuff... but then again there are plenty of fools who buy from Third Reich Depot and used to buy and sing the praises for Norbert Graetz at N&T Global. I don't know whether to get sick or laugh!!!

Jotuntroll is right about this not being a thread about the fakes, but it does serve to show that 99.9% of these caps you encounter are either obvious reproductions or cleaver fakes and one must really be knowledgeable to determine the difference. I saw quite a number of reenactors last weekend wearing the branch colored caps, as well as colored LAH shoulder straps ciphers. The people that sell this stuff to reenactors do more harm than good because they give everybody the impression that these were normal for everybody -- the colored LAH ciphers are a fantasy!!!
