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

[Graham G]

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?

Smock is a quite bad SMWholesale reproduction

[Remy Spezzano]

There were so many hats to choose from at the show, you just needed to be knowledgeable to avoid getting burned.

A few more to look over.

[Remy Spezzano]

This dealer had a nice selection of SS insignia and cuff titles. But he wanted big money for everything.

For this rare Bevo skull and eagle set in green the dealer wanted $3,000.

The SS Soldbuch in the case sounds interesting based on this write up.

The jump smock does not look too bad?!

Do you remember who was the dealer ?

Sorry Emilio. I have no idea who the dealer was.

Looks (and sounds) like Gus Villareal's table to me

for sure Gus, even when I wasn´t at a US show since 6 years

Hi Remy,
I think I remember you taking pictures at the show. You did some great work getting these wonderful shots.

What did you end up buying at the show?

[Remy Spezzano]

Hi Remy,

Sorry but that SS-Para smock is original aswell the breast-eagle

Regards,
Ron

Really??? That eagle looks like a bad reproduction.
But then again I did not spend anytime looking it over.

SS dot camo para smocks are always a risky item to collect.
Recently there was the thread about the one smock offered on Collectors Guild
which was made from original material but it was not wartime made.
Thanks for the clarification Ron.

Tom the recent photos of the SS cuff titles and SS soldbuch are indeed from Gus Villareal's table.
I believe the question the other member was asking is who was the dealer with the hats in post #92.
Those are not from Gus's table.
