I have discovered a shop here in Riga, Latvia near a market where there is an old man with loads of German items. He has a wallet full of dog tags, loads of helmets (poor condition to be fair) etc. He also has what looks like a hood that is camo one side and a dirty white inside. He said it's SS!! It has like a dark mesh where the ears would be. This particular item STINKS.
Also, he has a thin white tunic that has the eagle on the arm and black shoulder boards. there is no cuff title. This also appears very old and rather smelly.
I know without pics that it is IMPOSSIBLE to to say. But if there are such items that existed (that are not obviously fantasy) I will then try and get pics from him.
I know that SS items are heavily faked (I cut my teeth in Poland), but, you never know. Looking at his other items - that are all original...it makes me wonder.
Also, with three SS legions being based in Riga - surely there's some stuff out there.
