They HAVE a ink removing gun that strips off ink and smudges also pen ink.
Some inked skulls and eagles have been exposed using this method.

1/ Certain marker pen inks glow under a black light
2/ see the image below, here is a totally original embroidered SS sleeve eagle except for the fact that it is camo yellow or more realistically KM breast eagle dark yellow. Did not know what to make of it for some time. Never seen another like it.
Then one day I parted the top threads gently with a tooth pick. And there it was underneath, the correct original grey thread. The marker pen yellow ink sits nicely on top but it has not been allowed to soak all the way through because then the black base cloth would go yellow too. And as the yellow goes lower into the grey of the eagle it gets fainter.
If he can, I suggest Micheal carries out these test 1/ and 2/ above to check the SS insignia on the camo cap has been coloured in or not,

Hi,
i must repeat that for now Michael do not have access to the whole collection, nor he knows he if will be able to check and help the family to put the items for sale.
He will keep us informed, especially about the "famous" SS camo cap.
See You

Sorry but theme of camo cap two piece insignias is going to direction of legendary topic of "HG" panzer black wrapper. (almost all exists are more or less faked)Comment

No one is making fun of the Mr. Creek, but the comment attributed to SM. That company apparently didn't make the cap, however, and that's a positive thing to take away from that posting.Originally posted by kammo man View Post

Robert,
Thank you, as indeed I was not making fun of Mr. Creek. There are those who always want to make a mountain out of a mole hill here.
