Re: Black SS tunic for review please
Thank you very much. Those are very nice pieces. Yes, I know those dealers and they do seem to try to maintain a reputation as honest businessmen. Most of my endeavors are with veterans but I have purchased from dealers and I feel as long as it can be returned, you have a chance, since the COA never truly impressed me. Essentially without knowledge in what we are getting ourselves into, we take a chance. I like the gentleman I have dealt with with respect to this tunic I have posted. He seems like a good man. However all of us need to have that further assistance from those most knowledgable, such as yourself.
Regards,
Howard

Re: Black SS tunic for review please
Thanks again for the kind words, but you overstate my bona fides. As concerns black SS regalia, I look for it in old collections or from the very small cohort of those who own authentic stuff. In my experience, such material does not come from virginal sources, though the Sellner uniform above apparently did.
von Lukacs has a nice uniform of an Obersturmbannfuehrer for sale without an honor cuff title from Plauen near the Erzgebirge.
There has been a "surge" of some nice material in the past couple of months, to borrow a military phrase much over used.
I would also note that the 08/15 Allgemeine SS piece is more credible than the over the top SSTV or SSVT piece that often pushes my credulity to the breaking point. It is especially with the SSTV pieces that one has to be doubly skeptical.

Re: Black SS tunic for review please
I realize I diverge here from foetid black woolens, so here is one: it is not unlike the Bayreuth piece, but for an officer and from a locale in the Egerland/western Bohemia. It is pictured in the Johnson war booty book.

Just off the plane, and only wish to congratulate Howard on his tunic, which seems quite correct to me.
The Arty visor forwarded by F-B seems remarkable by any standard, and I wish I could afford it; quite a coincidence to have both officer's and EM rote versions offered at virtually the same time.

Please, sir, stop dangling this thing before tears short-circuit my keyboard.
Anyone want to go halves on this?
