THey spelled ''SS'' wrong

I also don't like the buckles

ss

can you please explain why you dont like the buckles and spelling of ss?

The SS Officer buckle is a textbook fake - you can't argue away those fantasy markings on the back. The panzer tabs look like pink fabric has been laid over the original piping. The banner looks like the unit numbers are not chain-stitiched, as would be the norm, but it is up to Ben Weed to make that call.

Both silver thread and black/white cloth on shoulder boards remind me of a pair I bought on e-stand many years ago. I also sold them on e-stand. Some collectors said they were questionable, well-known collector John Pic. gave them I don`t know what to say about the other items but your shoulder boards look original!?!?

For comparison:

can you explain what you mean by chain stitched please.
also do you know of a link to a textbook fake buckle, what do you think about the belt itself.

I believe that Herr Meyer is alluding to the fact that the SS runes on the flag appear to be backwards - which they indeed are when compared to the unit marking. Sorry cant do backwards SS on this phone keyboard to illustrate what I mean

[John Pic]

The Hauptsturm Fuhrer boards are original and appear to be upgraded heer boards. The other Sturmbanfuhrer boards I do not know to be honest they make very good fakes.

i see now, ive looked on the other side also the same way round, whichever way you look at it its wrong sideways etc. any idea why even a faker would do that?

[tbgbc]

[drbill]
