A friend of mine bought a SS Brigadeführer uniform some years ago. There have been some questions on the insignia. I would like some serious opinions.

SS Brigadeführer insignia - Good?

This looks like reproduction insignia. The collar tabs for sure are reproductions, no doubt in my former military mind. I don't like the shoulder boards because they look like they were made yesterday. The gold braid tones down over the years. And I don't like the sleeve eagle -- this is a reproduction in my opinion. You can check my Collectors Forum thread and compare the SS-Gruppenfuhrer and SS-Obergruppenfuhrer (2 sets on there; one with boards) with these and I think you'll quickly see the differences:

This looks like a tunic I ran across a few years ago. Some guy from Spain had it (I think) and said it was named but wouldn't give me the name. When he sent me photos of it, the file names were WITT, as in Fritz Witt. But that had all reproduction insignia as well. What goes around, comes around!
