Maybe the rest was too battle damaged (soiled? KIA?) and could not be preserved?

[Michael N]

Cool!

[Francisco V.]

The entire tunic was too bulky to be carried in the GI's haversack

[SJP]

Cyphers are copies (imho) you can see the drilled holes , that rank would be gilt

Hmmm, I would rather call it patina and bad storage. Guild is gone...
The rest is patinated and dusty to.

Perhaps this Sturmbannführer was cut in half by an American samurai?

[Robert H]

its called corrosion, not sure but I doubt original cyphers can get such a corrosion on CupAl base. Looks like Zn corrosion, maybe a cast copy cypher?

[Texasuberalles]

A crime..............

Holes don't appear drilled to me. I think it's just the angle of the photo.

I think it's been in the basement for many years..and it sure looks believable...Billbert

There are probably some VERY FAT moths wherever that came from!! They (moths) have ruined the Hobby almost as bad as the Fakers"
