When to call a Frankenstein a legitimate original piece!

[NickG]

When to call a "Frankenstein" a "Frankenstein" and
it still being an untouched original legitimate WW2 piece!

We often refer to re-built tunics and caps as "Frankensteins", especially when the parts don't match up, don't belong together....

but here's a true AUTHENTIC untouched original "Frankenstein"!

I believe Frankenstein only had one "son" and he was made up of corpse parts.

Even better when from the original German based maker.

Whatever the novelist wrote, his inspiration its based on this character Johann Konrad Dippel (1673-1734), (from Germany)

Sorry, that comic book stuff has simply has never been demonstrated nor that there was never any direct evidence of the influence or mention by her that he was the basis for the character. This has been played up in Darmstadt to beef up tourism for the castle and by a pseudoscholar named Radu Florescu. Her actual journals and diaries never mention anything about visiting the castle etc. or Dippel. That idea is as unsubstantiated as most the put together tunics floating around out there some collectors seem to believe are real.

Here is another one of Radu's books for you to enjoy-

I suspected comic books were involved. Hopefully our man from Hamelin will do his job as well.
