SS Pilots Cap

I once had a guy at a local pawn shop try to sell me an absolutely stone mint Vet Bring Back SS Pilots Visor Cap. I pointed out to the guy that before selling such an item, he should at least remove the USAF side buttons from the blue Vietnam Era USAF enlisted cap he was using. The guy had HOTGLUED! a fake bevo sleeve eagle onto the peak of the cap and a fake SS collar tab onto the middle portion. Very rare cap, worn by SS men learing to fly at Luftwaffe bases.

This was called an SS elite forces badge. I picked this up years ago at an Army surplus store. For $5, I had to have it.

Ah that's nothing. My wife and I raise chickens, and some of them are said to be direct decendants of the chickens from Himmler's chicken farm. You should see them goos step around the Barn yard when I play the Horst Wessel over the truck stereo!

I never took pics but the worst SS abortion of a repro that I saw was a Swedish tunic with Britische Freikorps cuff title and collar tabs, with a misshapen repro Heer officer's breast eagle sewn to the right sleeve. This was at a gun show; luckily I wasn't armed at the time.

It is amazing to me the crap people will buy with a good story. We can laugh about those, but not the very good fakes bought from supposedly reputable people. Like, for example, the SS "Panzer" Officer Boards where the waffenfarbe was colored panzer pink with magic marker. Live and learn!
Lucky I didn't have my gun either!
