SS NCO Tunic fot $34,000?

[A c h t u n g !]

That tunic is a equal to a nice car!

Anyway, I have never seen an NCO with an "Old Fighters" chevron. Have you?

NCO with an "Old Fighters" chevron is OK. But I agree for $34,000 I can buy two original SS NCO tunics and they will be even more interesting than this one and with cuff titles.

price doesn't have a sense. But i'm not surprised cause the greatest part of american dealers put no-sense price (may be here in Europe we could find a lot extra merchant site?).

I remember Gran Sasso sold an extraordinary untouched with photo evidence SS TK tunic + crusher... the value of the lot if i must consider this tunic?

70.000 usd...

but... the price of sell was so far...

Its putting it in perspective that makes it all the more ridiculous.

Although im sure some cashed up Baseball player will come along and buy it, and then every man and his dog with be asking 30k+ for SS NCO tunics without provenance.

Strange times we're living in.

Maybe it's priced for a different circulation of buyers than our good selves.

Just think what you could buy for the same amount of money ...

[Max Wünsche]

Given the discounts he's applied to alot of the other stock that has sat there for years, I gather he added the sum total of the discounts to that one NCO tunic......

Fishing for cashed up fools...

COA $23000
Willing buyer Priceless

He must've been the only Infantry SS-Oscha by 1941 who wasn't awarded the Infantry Assault Badge and EKII, also I can't think of any non-totenkopf infantry units at that period that didn't have a cufftitle ?

Just thinking out load .....

Does it come with a free soup and tube of vaseline? Jacques

Yeah, this for example...

I guess this one is now worth $50+K

Hey-Ho!

Is that yours?

As long as Hermanns auctions are selling collartabs for way way more than what they are "worth"- then why not try to sell a SS tunic for 34,000us. Every ww2 and military dealer would do this, that is how they make a living- it nothing wrong with that.

But remember one important thing, if we (The collectors) keep paying insane prices, then this is what the items are "worth". Some members have said: If you dont have the money affordable to keep collecting- then stop collecting. That is very true.
To bad collecting is a mental drug and some of us are heavily addicted to the loosers rags and other leftovers from a war long gone.

Nothing beats the wonderful mental state you are in when you slowly open a package from the postoffice.



But are you willing to pay 34,000us to get your next high??!

[Sammler]

It is because it still has the internal suspenders

[John Pic]

tgn...why do you torture me? That is THE tunic of tunics to me, you are a lucky man.

Ouch!,...this tunic used to be mine! I sold it to S. Wolfe after he pesterred me for it and promised me that it was "for my personal collection and won't be for sale", but then promptly sold it. The person he sold it to then sold it to Mike.


This tunic is EXACTLY the way it was captured except for the internal suspenders which have been added, otherwise it is "as found".

BTW, I sold it for $6,000.00 in 2003.
