Help needed big SS collection

[drwerner]

Good evening,
we - my wife and me - were lucky to find this large range of wwii german items at a house clearance. All of them were in two suitcases. We just wanted to buy a cabinet for our living room as we discovered the suitcases and bought them. We were rather curious what they would contain and you can perhaps imagine our surprise when we opened them at home. What do you think about these items. Real? We are collectors two but honestly do not have this much experierence that we can say for sure if they are all real ones. Thank you for your advice and help in advance.

Am I understanding correctly that you paid for two old suit cases, and did not open them at all until you returned home? Did the sellers know what was in them or mention the contents?

Hi,

the text on the suitcases is wrong, it should be:
"Im dienst der Sicherheitspolizei". A nice collector of non german origin has give it a try, I guess...

I don't think those uniforms are good either. I don't like the quality, insignia and the wool is also wrong.

Best Regards,
Westland

They just wanted to get rid of the suitcases and obviously they did not know anything of the contents or did not even wanted to know about it. They told us that if we will not buy them they will throw them away with all the rubbish which they found in the house. Sounds strange. But thats it.

Not even curious as to what caused the cases to be so heavy??? You're right, it does sound strange...

Some of the awards don't look too clever. Could you get pics of them individually front & reverse please. Stewy S

There are lots and lots of them. It will take a bit of time to take pictures of every single item and award individually.

That's ok. When you get chance my friend if you could post them in the Awards forum. We can give you an assessment of them,or endeavour to. Stewy S

Sorry but I do not believe this. The majority of the material are blatant fakes. This is is either the collection of an uneducated collector or an exercise in trolling.
