Towel from the SS verwaltung Obersalzberg

[Squadra33]

Dont know if this is the right section, but then again there aren't many of these items around.
And it is SS so guess its ok in here....

This was offered to me last week.
I really am keen on it, but since these are not very common i am not sure about the originality of this piece.
I must add that the seller is someone with a good reputation, and also a friend of mine.
But you never can be too carefull with SS related items.

Please let me know what u guys think, cause i really would love to have these in my collection...(if they are real that is!)

[Adrian Stevenson]

I would not buy this item if I were you.

Cheers, Ade.

[Squadra33]

could you tell me why?
because the seller has a good rep, and i dont think he would risk this for a € 200 item.
But i also know that a very good fake can fool even the best sometimes

Thanks in advance

I strongly believe the marking is a fantasy and is writing is modern. I have never ever seen this type of marking before in over 30 years of collecting.

Cheers, Ade.

he said he also had a photo of this towel taken in the obersalzberg.
Ill ask him for it, will post it here when i get it.
If he cant show me the photo then that probably says enough....

Thanks for the help!

Hope the photo is a real good close up. The sewing does not look like professional hotel work or towel supplier, what hotel would pay for such bad workmanship? I would bet the towel is also post war, by many years.

i am meeting up with him this afternoon, will keep u guys posted...
but gotta say that i am more and more expecting this thing to turn out bad

[Davidh]

Sorry but i agree with the others that stitching is terrible it looks like something i did at school when i was naughty and sent to needlework class

[Dick]

I would't mind owning them, nice new towels with a little humor for only Five Bucks Ea.
