concur with above

May I respectfully ask what you're basing these two opinions on? Others, such as myself, would find this informaiton invaluable since we are not as knowledgeable on this subject. Thanks!

Wrong liner,
wrong position of hooks,
wrong stamps
back of collar super-suspicious with so much rows
and finally never seen, in this condition, lossing of wool

Indeed.

[CrocHunter]

Made by who in the Czech Republic? Or what are the indicies that it was made there?
As what it was advertised?

[jacquesf]

It has a stamp saying "made in Czech"

[CrocHunter]

how does the stamp look in closer details? From the resolution of the posted pictures it is not readable.

I can't see the stamps either, as to their size, location or font. You guys must have much better eyesight than me. Seriously, it really says, "made in Czech"?

Regarding the location of the belt hook holes, here are some photos of original W-SS feldblusen courtesy of the "At the Front" website:






I personally don't see anything glaring regarding the relative positions between these two known originals and the example shown at the beginning of this thread.
