Agreed, a very very badddddd copy. When someone is offering up what purports to be an unissued SS Camo panzer wrapper for less than what a unissued Heer M36 sells for these days, that should be a very telling sign!
I still say the older Janke copies of this were the best, I had a set, and if you dont want to shell out 10K++ for a real set, then its not a bad option. A couple years back I saw the VERY same Janke piece I owned and sold as a repro in a very well known collectors collection. I simply did not have the heart to tell him it was bad. The middleman had put on a good eagle but, still bad. I had marked the interior of the jacket in a way to see if it every floated by again, and Im not kidding, it was the same jacket. Sad, so I do understand why some people say repros end up hurting someone down the road even if bought as repros.
