LAH Adolf Hitler, Panzer Wrap

**JimboCymru** · 04-03-2013, 07:06 AM

Hi everyone :-)
Did anybody see this recent auction on eBay?

It was for a Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler Panzer Wrap. I spoke to the seller and he is adamant that it is legit, having been burn tested and also checked thoroughly under U/V light.

Can anybody offer any advice on this one?

Many thanks!
Jimbo

It's a bad tunic

nothing right about this not even the shoulder board

Thanks lads. What are the main faults that you can identify? I'm a novice with respect to Panzer uniforms & SS gear. Obviously the price is ridiculously low, and I'd think if legit it would probably be worth about ten times the value. As discussed, the seller is adamant it's legit and has had threads burn tested, U/V tested etc (although I understand these could easily be faked if you want to go to the effort to do so).

Cheers guys,
Jimbo

item was for 'pickup only'...strange...or should I say 'suspicious'.

Perfect tunic mate... 100% original Narnia made! The only thing wrong it is that it has not the Adidas logo on it... Stay away from eBay my friend! Especially when you see a too good to be true price! You may find some good items there but you must double check them first and ask for as many pics as possible from the seller! I've spent some good euros on items that their sellers were giving 100% guarantee of authenticity! But that was during my first steps in collecting and i learned the hard way! Luckily i was able to aquire a good AFRIKA KORPS cufftitle for a very low price and a KRETA one for the same money! If these two were proven fakes too i would have killed someone responsible for that site!! Then again it was my fault that i got fooled so... stay sharp with this site to avoid losing money!

First question is why " if real " would anyone sell an LAH Panzer Wrap on Flea Bay , a quick internet search will tell even a complete novice that this item would be worth very big bucks !!

I think It was better to use screenshot because now this thread is useless.

Indeed Sid. I know I keep saying this. But this is why it is vital to save auction pics to the thread.

Luckly I have them.

Cheers, Ade.

Many thanks, Ade, I was planning to upload them tonight.

The seller is in rural Victoria and is very old, hence why he selected eBay to move it. Why pickup...simply because it takes him awhile to drive into town to do the post.

Furthermore, the seller is planning to try and move this jacket via other means, so some of you may cross paths with it again as he will inevitably find another channel to advertise it. I have had advised him that the photos which he provided for eBay have been inspected and the learned opinion is that it's not an original item.

Kind regards,
Jimbo
