My Latest SS Pickups....Couple of RARE pieces..

[PanzerFrank]

Ok guys- I respect your opinions. Help me out here- which insignia are you referring to- the skull or eagle? I am hoping BOB HRITZ will chime in here. What aspects about the insignia bother you? Thanks guys.

fake hat insignia

not needed

Better pictures of insignia....

[B. N. Singer]

Sans better pictures, I would be suspect of the hat itself.

Skull

Hello,

I believe there is an issue with the left eye of this skull (on cap), which calls it into question. It looks close to the original below, but isn't quite correct, IMO. Others thoughts?

Thanks,

Paul

[Bob Hritz]

The eagle, on the overseas cap, is ohe that has always been debated.

The skull is a modern copy.

Hi Bob,

Thank you for confirming our suspicions about the skull. IMO, that is one of the "best" fake cloth skulls out there.

If you look at the texture of this fake this one is easy to spot.

You can see the common traits visible.

Great hoard by the way

I also agree on the cap insignia...Billbert

[PanzerFrank]

Owen- it would seem that you have quite a hoard yourself, judging from the photo you posted! Are those all still in your collection?

Overseas caps

Wow Owen,

That is some collection of overseas caps: panzers, officers, EMs. Several with great flat wire insignia.
I've never seen so many in one place. Amazing...................
