SS Tent shelter on Ebay Fake or Real???

[Spongebob]

Is this the evidence that the seller
did something with the shelter??? Maybe
he'd tried to maturing an Fake shelter???
I found this pic of the ironing board
pattern,isn't it very close to the tracks
on the shelter???

Well, I must say that I am uncharacteristically speechless about this one. I will just use some appropriate emoticons to express my various feelings and thoughts...



I'd say that just about covers it.

Yes, real but dead...only of value to a collector that can't afford a better one.

Looks like plenty of material to make up some caps

Kameraden,
I'd be willing to bet that most of the remaining cloth is so rotted that it would tear like wet tissue paper. I had an original war time Italian zelt that was more intact than the one shown here, only half was salvageable. The other half fell apart under the slightest strain. I suspected it had been stored in a very damp area for a long time. The colors were very strong unfortunately the fibers just rotted. It looks as though this one has done the same.

Exactly, Sepp! IMO the material is "dead" and rotten, it can't be used to make anything, still ok for a collector who can't spend the money on a better piece.

Nobody knows how to absorb damage like a sponge.

At the right (very cheap) price it'd do for a display background or maybe even 2.
