Die ganz furchtbare Schere

[Friedrich-Berthold]

Elsewhere is said that the presence of this serrated scissors is a sure sign of a fake. That is, that such an implement only came into use
after 1945. Or that such a tool was never used in the uniform trade and so on.

Here is evidence to the contrary.


I offer this as a footnote to question that appear here and which are immune to evidence and logic.

The field grey blouse strikes very much as being of the period, but what do I know?

Ah yes, the pinking shears debate! In fact, "patterned" scissors had been used by the Germans for some time prior to the Third Reich, as evidenced by the scalloped edges of officer's pickelhaube sweatbands which were produced in this way...

You know, I have seen what you describe how many times, and I never associated it with our theme, i.e. the pinking shears as sure give away of larceny.

Do allow me to engage in the digging in open wounds, but I find the group think that endures in the face of evidence to the contrary absolutely absurd.
