Waffen ss 1943 M43 Field Cap Einheitsfeld

[TWS]

Be very careful with this seller. Looks like a closet-collector who was not up on the fakes.
A lot of these older guys are now dumping their collection on unsuspecting newer/younger collectors.
I suspect his collection has already been cherry-picked for the good items, leaving the junk leftover.

I would say he knows what he is selling is bad--his prices are way below market for real items, but very high for fake/repro/messed with stuff.

There is a going to be an estate auction here locally of a elderly collector who passed away. I didn't know the gentleman, but one of my collecting friends did and sent me the link to the auction preview.

There's only one photo per item, but enough to tell this collector had a mix of good and bad. Actually a fair amount of bad.

The SA kepi is odd - it looks like the Gruppe color was snipped off the cap.
