New one. Very rare and small size like the one listed below.

Nice one Scott...

Poster - Unit ID

Can anyone identify the unit in this poster for me?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Yes, 14th Waffen Grenadier Division (1st SS Galizien), or in German 14. SS-Freiwilligen Division "Galizien".

Mostly made up of Ukrainians.

Haven't seen this variant before.

This is what the owner of the photo said to me:

Nice poster Alex - you would have got my confirmation through Vince about it.

Hi,

yes and yes Tony ^_^

The "postcard/picture" of the Verviers poster is maybe fake, but the original picture and poster is genuine.
The Verviers SS Dienstelle made a lot of SS propaganda items...

See You

Hey guys,

Thoughts on this one. Small size. The eagle top corner was a concern for me and swastika in flag is faint.

I can't tell on my phone but here's an original to compare with

Tony,

The images in yours certainly appear more crisp and sharp. Size is 30x41. Tough to say, but based on what I can see, I will likely pass. The dots in the flag and in letters also do not sit well with me. If a copy of an original, it has been well done, imo.

I did the comparison with the one that Tony had posted as I had it on file.

I think it is a fake albeit aged, for sure!

Colours etc... are all off on the Collectors Guild one... It is cropped and lacks the printers reference #.

The description on the listing also states that it has a waxy finish....!!!

Thanks Christian. Definitely a good fake, and I agree with you and Tony, and better to pass if not 100%.

Two new additions....


Another two grail posters ticked off the list...

The quintessential Waffen SS poster and with a Munich recruitment address, couldn't be better!...




Rare is an understatement! A shame about the damage, although I will
look to have it restored.
