Shopping at the MAX Show 2017: Is it Real or Fake???

[11C]

Thanks..........just wondered what a disc in that condition would cost?

SS Officers white summer visor cap. Sure is minty. But is it a good one?

Is that a good one? No, it is not. Who was selling?

I don't know who the dealer is. I was just snapping photos here and there as I walked up and down the isles.

Is the insignia real? or is the whole cap a nice reproduction?

Looks like the very common " ESPF " marked repro set to me , so surely that white cap then was not at Wolfe-Hardin .. ?!

I thought the insignia looked off on the white visor too.

The white SS visor cap wasn't on the Wolf-Hardin tables. I walked by it a few times and didn't get a good vibe, but I did not look it over carefully.

Another one in black wool.

There was some discussion of this tunic on war relics and it was deemed to be a "put together" tunic.

..... , so surely that white cap then was not at Wolfe-Hardin .. ?!

That is correct. The white visor is from some other dealer and has nothing to do with Wolfe-Hardin.

Skull

Hello,

From the photo, the cloth cap skull on the right, in post #63, looks like a reproduction to me. Others thoughts?

Again, thanks for posting all the photos from the show.

No. 100% Bogus.

I'm really a novice when it comes to hand embroidered SS insignia.
But I have to say the items displayed in this case look pretty darn good.

Would definitely be interested to see some of the more seasoned collectors
of this forum weigh in and give their seal of approval or disapproval based on what you see here in these two photos.

There was not a whole lot of SS camouflage uniforms at the show.
I only saw a few items and of them only a few were any good.

This Waffen-SS Dot camo tunic with the manufacturer code 393
was a nice original item.

[Remy Spezzano]

Back side of the tunic.

[Remy Spezzano]

The only SS camouflage pull over smock I saw at the show.
And to be honest I don't know which I dislike more. The smock or the carpet?

[Remy Spezzano]

Another untrustworthy piece on display with a really bad SS sleeve eagle.
