Metal SS Hat Insignia; real or fake?

[Harvey A]

Hello all,

I just bought these in a pile of other stuff. I've never had a set before and know nothing about them. I hope they are genuine but I paid a price for fakes; so give it to me straight.

Thanks,

[Harvey A]

All Fake

Latvian made fakes from the early 2000.

Alas, both are fakes kindly created by our Latvian brethren to waste internet webspace

I'm quite sure a minute's search on this (and any other 1/2 decent) forum would have shown you this.

Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad; and you can't always stop in the middle of an ongoing deal to conduct research on a computer.

These were in the middle of a much bigger deal that I wouldn't have missed for the world. So I'm out 30 bucks on some fake trinkets; I'm still way ahead for the day.

Care to share your other treasures???

No SS items in the pile. Just helmets and a fantastic, early, samurai sword.
