SS eagle for identification

[Darth2a]

Hi,

Darth, maybe that if you have the opportunity to see again this dealer, you can inform him that the eagle was fake. At least he will take into account that for your next transaction. So he can understand that "you know that he knows".

See You

Vince

I already have Vince, and I agree with you on this. As an aside, thanks for all of your guidance on the Unsere SS postcards!

Hi,

i think Darth that you discovered more interesting variations/errors on the "Unsere Waffen-SS" postcards than me.

See You

Vince

Anyway now to confirm if all those hand drawings are authentic to the period ? I mean to say how do you know the whole book wasn't put together ?

Anything is possible, but man would it have been a LOT of effort for a fairly small financial gain to do so. I have only posted about a 1/4 of the pages, and there's quite a few of the GI military documents, photos etc.

I think this is either a swap-out over time, or the GI bought some repro insignia afterwards.

I agree the boards are reproduction as well

I'm amazed at my age nearing 50 at how faulty my recollection is sometimes against what I later find to be the facts, so I'm sure vets probably remember things differently than what actually happened sometimes.

Funny, we are the same age and what I have learned is almost everyone lies or exaggerate things. A bad memory is one thing but some dealers are liars and in this case the dealer added some fake insignia to boot. Who knows if that book came from someone in art school or a vet, without direct knowledge every story should be considered just a story until proven true.

Agreed
