SS BW for comment

[LOTHRINGEN]

Hi,

Please give me your opinion about this marking SS BW.
For my part I am not comfortable with it.

Thanks for looking,
Xav

Bad markings, also the numbers are fake.

Agree,looks like someone touched up the faded bad SS-BW stamp with a black marker.

Thank you for these fast replies.
I had many doubts.

In fact this tunic belongs to a non WAF member.
That is why he asked me to post this tunic for comment.

I will tell him what experts said.

Stay tuned I will post more views (if owner allows).

Of coarse there is the possibility some stupid collector traced over the original mark with a sharpie pen to enhance it if it was faded. I've seen dumber things done such as an entire tunic cut up....after I offered to buy it intact with the caveat that I could make payments. they opted to cut it up to get an immediate profit on the parts.

Not in this case, as the size number markings are fake as well.

Always good to know these things, I am rusty with size stamps these days, been away for awhile. The benefits of many knowledgeable people is a blessing here.

Hi Xav,

I hope you don't mine me jumping in and asking fellow members if this SS BW is good or not, I did try and compare it with the images of the bad ones that was just posted up, but the SS rune look thinner?

Thanks,

Lou
