    Major Hochstetter's Uniform

    Not really but close. This is an obvious fake that wandered into War Relics Shop in Delaware. Possibly 60's-70's theatrical? Looking at the makers tag which I think is origional to the jacket, anyone have an idea what the uniform may have started out as? It isn't re-dyed and the trousers match, have single button closures on front and rear pockets and no markings. All opinions welcome. Ron.

        I think he died around '95-96.

          Most of these are early BGS or west German. This tunic was in a newspaper article that may have been posted here before.

            Were there any early BGS uniforms in black?

              No, but they are now.

                They dyed them, the dyes do not effect the tailor labels. I think it has been dyed. That is what was done to most of them. This is pretty typical of something made in the 1970s. Collectors Armory and a mail order place called "Kruppers" sold sets like this.

                  For the sake of comparison....with a Hollywood created overcoat.

                    IMO not a BGS dyed jacket as the collar form i different,the lapels are not that big on a BGS jacket .
                    Simply a new made jacket in the 70's or 80's .

                      It's definitely not dyed. The matching trousers pocket liners are brownish-grey. Does anyone know if this tailor actually existed?

                          Has better provenance than Gottlieb's Hitler uniform.
