More pictures would help but I am not too keen on that one. If fake it's well made, though.

My thought too, however, with camo that can be a bit hard to tell from time to time as the material can look like that when several times washed in a washing machine with a large amount of washing powder.

The material is repro too, I'd guess a SM print., however, going from these pics the cap seem sto be "custom made".

Looks to be "custom made" as well, this time using original (splinter) zelt fabric.

That zelt is also fake, the material used wasn't made by 1944militaria, they only sell them, the manufacturer behind that is SM wholesale. Both of them are not fake sellers but reenactor suppliers.

The problem that I tried to address is that when you have a original piece that has been washed several times the way I described earlier in this thread it can look quite similar to the pieces shown.

But that is a rare occurence, I have only seen a handful of period items that looked similar to these, still, these were "very real".

Camo caps in palm and certain other patterns can be a bit hard to judge from a faded pattern alone along with bad pics as the sections of the pattern shown on these items is naturally quite small.

of course no doubt about that

what i`m trying to say is that the sm/1944 material looks like stone washed jeans after such a hard treatment :-)

the colours are still strong but there is a white/gray shade over the camo

and the buttonholes and the stamp and the eyelets ( if you ve got detailed pics of it )

like i said easy to detect

Yes, because that is more or less what happened.

Yes, but that is what can happen to original items too when you wash them a number of times with too much washing powder, so the "white/grey shade" is not necessarily the "kiss of death". It's what I call the "good housewife crime".

Yes then they are easy to spot as the button holes etc. show no natural wear.
