I have a lot of WW2 German reproduction (“Fake”) stuff, but not in my collection.
I use them for making movies and stuff.. I can dress up about 20 soldiers in full gear..
Küstenartillerie, Luftwaffe, SS and Heer..

AMTG I am sorry but I disagree.A fake is a fake and it has no room in a serious collection.If we say you can use one here or there because of expense I think it will take away from the collector who has gone to the time and money to acquire the real deal.Besides that it gives unscrupulous antiques dealers a sense of worth that they should not have.
I hate fakes/reproductions.
I do have to buy some repro uniform items (very very few) for re-enactment and it kills me to buy them.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

I have to say, though, that for some odd reason,I like the Top one better than the lower one...I just saw one of these recently somewhere for sale...the price was only something like 19 grand or so, if I remember right...Plus shipping and handling, of course...I would order a couple but they only had one, so I decided to skip it...
