[BenVK]

Here's a great idea. Buy a new repro Panzer cap, set fire to it then put it on ebay!!

Fakers use torches to make their stuff look old. It looks like this one was torched while intoxicated.

"DEF HAS THE BEEN THERE LOOK"

Been where? It looks like it spent a week in Hell.

Must have been his first attempt at artificial aging....

He ought to burn it down to ashes and then offer it as the remains of Michael Wittmann's panzer cap...

Well you can start with the medium-well cowhide sweatband and its post war method of attachment. Then we have the well-done visor that appears to lack crosshatching. The medium-rare TK is a fake, etc, etc.

And 2 dickheads have already bid it up to $125. You can get a nice, medium-rare repro for that.

Aye, and anyone foolish enough to bid on this deserves to be robbed!

How do you like your Panzer cap sir? rare, medium or well done!?

[wh014d4394]

yes hate to see how much he spent in gas for his gas torch

[tazpants]

Item removed from ebay . Glad i got to see it before they took it off. That was the best one i,ve seen for a while. As for the bidders... if you play with fire..you get burned.

"Smoked" troops visor

Come on guys, aren't you being a little tough on the seller - This could have been from a "smoke" troops officer standing a little too close to the nebelwerfer
