A frame;advice needed

[German_military]

Hello,
I want to buy a A frame. (my first) I've found 2 nice ones. The seller said , it are both Afrika korps A frames . Is that true?
Both are just as expensive. I still have to decide wich one I want to buy. Do they both look original? I don't like to throw away my money.

Greetings,
Frank

I don't like the webbing and the hooks.
The whole thing.But that being said i'm far from an expert.

I'd pass on both....


Compare those offered to you to the examples shown here:

By the way "IMHO" is short hand for " In my humble opinion".

Hello,
Thank you for you opinion. I won't buy them.
Can anyone tell me, why they don't look original?
The hooks look original. Is it the webbing?

Hello again,

the webbing is incorrect, construction is poor....virtually everything is incorrect.

Compare them with the ones in the link i gave you, and things should be a little clearer.

Hello,
I saw them at:

Again a good lesson that a lot of cheap things are not as cheap as they look.
It saved me a lot of money.
Thanks!

I just have to wait for my first A frame.....

greetings,
Frank

They're as ugly as sin and two steps lower than Chelsea Clinton !Drop them suckers and wait till a good one will appear on the e-stand or keep posting here the pictures of the ones you'll find on the net....it'll prevent you from getting stung by militurdia dealers!
FWIW (SH F FWIW..joking ...short hand for "FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH"!)

Frank,

The webbing is wrong. Look at past threads on the topic, you'll see what we mean. The A-Frame you have looks like an ATF (At The Front) reproduction.
