Dont buy the Story, dont buy the hat

[Robert H]

This morning offer in my email account


Sehr geehrter Herr H.,
bezugnehmend auf meine eigene Internetrecherche nach möglichen Interessenten bestätige ich Ihnen hiermit die Verfügbarkeit der oben genannten SS-Offiziersuniform- Mütze von OGF Paul Hausser.
Dazu ist folgendes zun erwähnen: Paul Hausser an sämtlichen Kriegsschauplätzen des 2.WK's im Einsatz, bevor er bei Moskau schwer verwundet wurde. Seinen anschließenden Erholungsurlaub hatte er im Hause seines Freundes, des Grafen Bernsdorff in Pommern verbracht, wo er neben noch anderen Dingen diese Mütze vergaß. Über einen Nachfahren des Grafen gelangte sie in unseren Besitz. Wir wollen sie Ihnen zum Erwerb für sich selbst oder eventuell einen anderen interessierten Kunden anbieten und stellen uns einen Preis von 15.000,-€ vor. Sollte es sich hierbei um ein Stück handeln, das Ihr Interesse haben könnte, würde ich mich freuen, mit Ihnen ins Geschäft zu kommen und würde sie Ihnen dann unverzüglich innerhalb weniger Stunden persönlich liefern. Ihre Antwort freudig erwartend verbleibe ich
mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Tilman Giebel

Even from my limited experience I don't like the visor but I have a sidebar question.

It's often repeated not to buy "the story" that almost every piece of military comes with so why, I wonder, are we always interested in the story describing how pieces are acquired or the alleged chain-of-custody of an item? Clearly 'some stories' seem more acceptable to the community than others. Sgt X of Y division brought this back is just as readily accepted as discounted it seems to me…


It rather reminds me of the public criticism of Ebay while there's a ton of threads saying "found this on Ebay" which means serious collectors ARE watching and buying from Ebay.

wow what a bargain! Paul Haussers' visor only 15000 euro? I'll take 3! I guess since this visor belonged to Hausser we need to rethink our former opinions on the "pigeon head" eagle. You definately CAN'T polish this turd..... makes one wonder what these charlatans are thinking....

Sure get the story whenever you can, but dont take any story for granted. That means, dont have a closer look at the item itself, just because it comes with a great story.

Phuuuuu, lucky me..... I had those 15.000 laying around.

Thats a NVA visor

I thought that the NVA visors were missing the lower cap band row of piping ?

Either way it's a P.O.S.

Your knowledge would have to be very,very limited if you ever considered it to be even close to WW2 original.

Very bad pictures..

In most cases the mist cloud is used in a very bad picture to camouflage the details you want to see.
Never buy on "Misty" pictures for sure
