This is the message:

Thanks for your comments on the forum concerning my SS tunic. Tough bunch of skeptics on here. I understand there is alot of crap out there but this is not one of them. If the guy who commented on the rust on the sleeve eagle, looked at the two lower buttons he would see where the rust must of come from. My always concern is about some peoples comments are just comments. If they can 100% prove that this didnt exist then I would believe the so called "experts". Fact of the matter they cant.

Anyway appreciate the comments. Happy Thanksgiving. Matt

Fortunatly sometimes there are so called "experts" here.

The tunic showed here is in my opinion a very salty WH tunic with original SS insignia applied.

No comment about the story.

Please help me thinking where these insigna where for sale guys!

On a dealer website I saw this pumpkinhead tab for sale and the eagle came from a UK dealer if I could remember.

Bob,
How about judging the piece for what it is and forget historic fact for a moment. What exactly makes this piece fake in your opinion? Please be specific.
Peter

You must be joking???? This is the most obvious frankenstein tunic that ever hit this forum. Even if the the tab was not TK, even if it was runic it would be just as obviously bad. But with the TK tab, it is pure comedy. This is a classic example of an individual that has been sold a rotten bag of goods and a funny story to boot.

I somehow think you have not read the thread carefully enough.

Peter Manzie...your reputation/integrity is already in question with many ..the LAB coat..what you cant prove is that people "cant" tell if something is good or not.

Looks as though everyone was correct except a few who probably are less experienced and then you and your defense of it speaks volumes maybe no conspiracy but you jump in when these things show their face. Anyone can see the jacket was humped up the eagle the tabs and especially the boards.

I personaly think this was done after recent comments made on a tunic for sale on a dealer site and it may just be a conspired effort but thats my opinion.

John,
It is clear that most of those who were correct had insider knowledge of why. I did not. Perhaps you John Pic can point out the "Specific" faults of this piece. Instruct us on exactly what makes this piece a Frankenstein. So far no one has done that. At least to my satisfaction. Saying it is and displaying / describing why is another thing. Many others have remained silent. Perhaps they too are unsure. Sure we all have the scoop now, but let's just judge the piece for what it is. Let's hear the facts John!

Yes it was. Wanted to see how genius some of you where. If you would of looked way back at past threads I had this tunic without insignia. I got the collar tabs from Ruptured Duck and the Eagle from Collectors Military.

Sorry for the game playing guys but I really wanted to see if this was just another bull**** blog where people go to spew their self-proclaimed bull**** knowledge. Many of you DO know your stuff and that is very impressive.

Sorry for the dupe guys but the best way to see if something or someone is true blue, sucker punch em and see if they see it coming. You did. Good job.

You are a real character for pulling this game. Who are you to "check-out" the knoweldge and integrity of folks on this forum? Most people here were collecting before you knew that Adolf Hitler was the head of the NSDAP. I truly hope that after this nonesense you get expelled from the WAF. At the least I hope any of your future threads and posts go unaswered and you are branded as a non-entity at this venue. Get a life and go find some real material to keep you busy and occupied. You obviously have nothing better to do with either your time or intelligence.

Peter........quit playing stupid games....you came to this forum trying to pose as a seasoned collector by questioning everyones ability to judge fabricated SS crap...which was later found you had some connection to in some way or another....now your trying to discredit people..perhaps to try and redeem yourelf after the LAB coat B.S...I dont make snap judgements I give informed opinion but you should know any final analysis is done in hand up close...which is why you did not see my comments in this thread until after the fact and...OF COARSE..anytime some low baller tries to flim flam people I may step in to make a few comments.

No one has to prove any thing to you they suspected fraud they found eveidence and they did a damn good job of detective work all in a short period that is all that is needed to show they are expert enough to make good judgement calls on junk when they see it.

Your contribution

Anyone can see the jacket was humped up the eagle the tabs and especially the boards.

John,
I am not playing any games here. Is this the meat of your contribution to this thread. I have not learned a great deal from this Mr. Pic. Please note my first post in this thread. I just asked for someone to explain why this was a Frankenstein. Please feel free to fall back on the "lab coat" once again if it helps you. Use it as much as you like.

It's not the "lab coat" as much as it is your taste is QUESTIONABLE iterms. Everyone pointed out the the tunic was a put together post war POS.

P.S. if you needed someone to explain why a put together tunic is bad no one will be able to help you.

[Kurt Meyer]

I knew it.

Here is the eagle :
