Do you have Max Hastings "All Hell Let Loose"? The book shop has stocked it and I bought a copy today.

I believe I saw this cap on a website yesterday together with a few others that were also duds.

What gets me is the fact that these things are blatantly put up for sale for this kind of money, in the hope that some (not so) poor sap will come along and buy it for this kind of money.

Wake up people !! (or should that be "sheeple")

Here is another for review and comment:

This cap now looks like this, and is my property. Sometimes one must have the courage to see past the snare of appearances.

Very nice cap. Looks alot better on your pile of books.

Here is one thats a bit more "Worn" on the waf E-stand.

Cheers, Patrick

The above is a 08/15 fake that bears little real resemblance to an original Sonderanfertigung item, dozens of which are here as originals in many threads. I have seen one of these in reality, and it is pretty easy to spot. According to Saris, the Sonderanfertigung as the officer cap was made only from 1934 until 1936, though I have seen 1937 examples, and own one, in fact.
