Panzer SS LAH wrap and trousers

[kampfgruppe14]

Thank you

[Regen]

Original runic tab, sleeve eagle and cufftitle, all of which are commonly available. Personally I don't like the texture of the rank tab and feel the litzen is bad.

i 100% agree.

The most important thing is that the basic wrap is original. The insignia (if bad) could be changed.

I do not like the LAH slip ons and the said rank tab.

At the very best a "put-together" wrap which never ever saw action with the LAH.

Historically completely uninteresting.

Cheers,
Markus

So at least 90%+ items on the SS market are historically completely uninteresting because you do not know anything about the former owner and/or the unit.....a very interesting way of collecting :-(

I'm happy that I can enjoy also pieces without a known history

Yes, of course. It's always a question of personal taste, preference, available budget and how high you put the bar for yourself to build a quality collection.

The key is to have "fun" on the way!

Cheers!

Nice wrap and trousers but restored

[viva_giulio]

Lah slip of course fakes.
Panzer has very high chances to be original and nowadays is very very difficult to find. Maybe less nice cause never used? I do not know... I know only I see very few original ss cut wrap in 2017.

Do never forget :
In the USA , "vet bring back" items are mostly unissued , mint and without stories.
in Germany , most items were denazified ! Not a good period 1945 for ex-SS soldiers !

So I 'm sure that 95% of tunics around the world now (that saw action )are reconstructed .
just my two cents.

I like this tunic anyway.

Very true.

This is why the 5% of untouched pieces and pieces with full provenance will naturally and logically always demand a premium. Because they are so extremely rare and stand out.

This is true. The problem is deciphering the BS provenance from the real provenance. Not so easy with 70 years since the war.

Also very true Jeff.

There's (made-up) provenance some people provide which is absolutely no firm provenance at all. The typical "Vet find" phrase which is no more than a few empty words...

Clear photo evidence of the item in wear during the war is the best of course.

Agreed!
