What do you guys think about this SS Tunic?...

or such a nice Montur as this... you notice the role of ice cream in the creation of patina. These SSTV men in the Protektorat have a uniform similar to that owned by Mr. Bruce here.

For those creating a reference file, here are a couple of these TK tabs. Again, note the craftsmanship, shape of the collar and so on:

And an EM version:

Compare the collar shapes on the last two posts with this from the original fake tunic:

As further to the question of whether there is anything worthwhile on the original uniform on this thread, compare the brassard from this beast ...

...with the real thing. Hard to believe the screen-printed first example could fool anyone.

For Colt45: When were you in the 3rd ID? Were you stationed at Larsen Barracks?

another authentic example. These are faked now too, and were also thirty years ago...actually.

The modern day fakes are not very good with the Hakenkreuz when compared to an authentic piece.

The brassard on the fake piece at the head of this posting is pretty awful, really.

Notice also the patina on this and Mr. Bruce's examples.
