    Are these real?

    I don't expect this to be real, but I'm only 15 and VERY new to this. Is it?

    http://www.epier.com/biddingform.asp?864103

    I'm not planning on buying it anyway, but I just want to see if I could tell.

    No, and they are priced accordingly from what I can see. Nice display item though.

      A bit of advice: Collecting SS, it is an expensive hobby and there are a lot more fakes than originals, many of them quite good. One mistake could be very costly relative to what I am guessing is a modest income at 15. Therefore, I recommend girls over dusty old insignia. If there is any money left over after dating expenses and you still insist on jumping into the deep water of SS collecting, the first thing you should buy is a book. The second thing you should buy is another book!

          Dear Sir,

          I absolutely agree with the above comments. At least when you buy a good book on collecting SS items you know exactly what you are buying...a book on SS collecting !

          I don't really consider myself an SS collector as such,I only own one complete SS uniform, but do yourself a favour and never buy anything until it has been studied on this forum. I'm not ashamed to admit I have lost a few thousand dollars buying crap before I found this forum.

          Finally go for quality and not quantity, one scruffy old sleeve eagle that is real is worth 20 high end fakes.

          Best of Luck.

          Regards Craig.

            Roughshooter,

            Show us your SS uniform! Would like to see it.

            Actually, the books are great to learn about the SS and the uniforms and insignias. I've found many times that fakers don't do their homework and ignore historical details, which can be used to trip them up as well. So it's good to know, historically-speaking, what is right and what isn't. Learn the difference between an Army breast eagle and an SS sleeve eagle, etc.

              bwanke1 women come and go a collection will be around you as long as you want it to be. So would you rather spend money on someone who has the ability to leave you and crush your emotions or a nice SS item that you can look at when ever you want?

                Assuming you are kidding, I will play along...

                That's right, Der Totenkopf, you too can avoid the challenges and disappointments of real human interaction. Social development isn't all its cracked up to be. You will be much happier at 40 if, having avoided female temptation, you are still living in your parents house surrounded by the clothing items and accoutrements of long-dead Germans and enjoying all of the personal satisfaction and fulfillment that can bring!

                  At 40 years old you can sell your collection and 'rent' as many beautiful 21 year olds that you'd like (by the hour or the day) and get rid of them post 'visit' as opposed to a wife that is yours forever

                    A lot of wisdom in this post.

                    The kid asked for a looksee, not a lecture on how to live his life. Buy the girls later on kid!

                      More advice: assume that everything on Ebay and especially Epier is fake until proven otherwise.

                        Thank you. I almost forgot about the personal pride you can enjoy in knowing that your prized material possessions will accrue in value to the point where you can one day liquidate them and have enough money to pay desperate, drug-addicted trailer trash, who would otherwise find you repulsive, to pretend to find you attractive for a few fleeting moments.

                              Sorry, I stand corrected...some high end call girls who would otherwise find you repulsive.
