Hi Beau, welcome to the forum, great to hear you love your history! If you see anything you like in the future, post it here first before parting with your cash as we will only be to happy to help "ol boy". The collecting world is unfortunately full of fake items, especially in the Third Reich arena so tread carefully! Happy hunting, Leon.
Thanks Leon! keep an eye out for my posts I have a few things I will hopefully post today
From my having been a history buff at fifteen thereby did arise....
wow I like your "little" hat collection. Are the caps repros? I know the repros sell for big $$ here in canada
As to the "repro" question, I will let others answer you there. Good luck. We of the fading old guard are happy young people are interested in this material.by BeauHarper
Happy past, present and future to all here.....
No Beau, Friedrich's caps are most certainly not repro, neither is the rest of his very extensive collection, we all learn a lot from this gentleman! Leon.
Thanks, dear colleague for the kind words. But the truth is this: most images of SS regalia in the internet, if one starts out as a beginner on a random search, do toss up fakes.
I have looked many times. Our site is the treasure trove of authentic things. It is the task of a young person to figure this all out, but such persons can surely avail themselves of our
work, if they so choose.
those last photos were quite convincing... I believe you got some real ones there. Man I would love one of those but lets start small to begin with! Im not big into repros myself, theres nothing wrong with repros in my opinion as long as they are not sold as authentic pieces. Im personally not interested in repros... I like the REEEAL stuff! thanks for sharing those wonderful photos. Just posted 2 more topics on a couple german things I have. If you guys would take a look that would make my day.
Thanks,
Beau
got rid of the patch to a friend for cheep trade. He posted it on a website and showed people his repro...One guy chirped up and told him don't take less than 150 pounds for it. Apparently this is a real deal 1945 SS patch as shown in some reference book and my friend is currently making a trade with the guy for a ton of badges... Is it possible the patch is real? Kinda doubt it because everyone I have asked so far says its a fake and not even a good one. Apparently its good, or maybe this guy does not know what hes talking about???
thought I would keep you updated, Thanks,
Beau
