A fake reproduction...

[Basil]

This is getting weird. The UK tv series 'Foyle's War' featured some British Free Corps members in one episode but they were wearing reasonably accurate repro uniforms. This seller is trying to unload a fake of the repro uniforms they wore for that episode.

Wait, a fake reproduction, so it's a genuine item?

Looks to be a standard light grey West German Polizei tunic ... as seen for £5 in all good Army Surplus shops here in the UK late 70's

So a snip at £250 with some crappy fake insignia ...and, of course, with the collar tab expertly sewn on upside down.

Yes - tautology at its best!!

Well:
If I remember my high schools algebra correctly two negatives makes a positive.
So a fake-reproduction constitutes the genuine article!

This fake reproduction copy has a army eagle on both the chest and arm. I love the attention to details...

Is there any original BFC tunic still in existence?

Good question, would be cool to see an original one

No known insignia and no known tunics, unfortunately.

Shouldn´t it be rather called a reproduction fake....???
