SS Tunic for review

**MAP** · 07-08-2016, 06:41 PM

Was hoping for some help here for a friend. I've looked as much as I could on my cell phone to do my own research but will admit it has been difficult given the small screen.

So I kindly ask for some help in helping authenticate or confirm what I think is a bad tunic. Apologies in advance for the quality of the pictures and the fact that some are sideways.

The RZM tag has me worried. And the insignia as well. But is the tunic itself ok?

Thanks again for any help you can give my friend.

Regards,

Michael

We also buy and trade your items and full collections!

Are those the seller's photos? I'm asking because it looks to me as if they have been deliberately taken in such a way that many important details such as the cut of the lower pockets and the tunic's back are obscured.

But even from what we can see it's clear that this piece is no good.

The insignia and labels are fake, the cut of the collar/lapels is wrong, collar piping is missing and appears to never have been present...

I do not like it.

HPL nailed it..... Done and done...

Thanks to everyone for helping me out with these less than perfect pictures.

It is greatly appreciated and why I love this forum.

Andreas is always right.

I was gone for awhile, and I am not sure I should have returned when I see this kind of junk.

It is fake, and I won't waste my time or that of anyone else in once more enumerating details you can easily find from my many, many careful and detailed posts.

If you want a real black SS uniform, buy one of mine or one from the handful of sane and sober persons.

Don't collect black SS regalia on a whim. You will be impaled if you fail to perform the necessary research and study.

foetid woolens and their poison for the unwary.

Should be sent to the rag picker.

Thanks FB. I don't collect this (yet) as I agree 1000% with your statements. At this point in my life I do not have the time to even scratch the surface of knowledge needed to stand on my own.

But alas, this was a request from a friend for help, and only having a cell phone at my disposal I appealed to the good members here for some help.

Thanks again to you and everyone. I know it is tiring to answer the same questions over and over...
