Thanks for the "heads up!" The uniform is a beautiful work of art...screw Mona Lisa!

Really? 44K? You look at the insignia on the Hat? Cyphers?

[Frog]

Good heavens, Jay, you are not treading on my territory at all. I have no horse in this race.

This grouping seems (to me) quite instructive and pivotal in the assessment of uniform valuations in today's market.

Doktor No, you have raised your flag.

Please be specific in your comments so we can assess this important offering on this forum.

I wish they would give an idea where this grouping came from. To me the history (with provance of course) is worth the world to me. I love the history almost as much as the actiual items.

I would like to know where that Hat skull came from M1/17 never made a Visor Skull. Skull and Eagle are fake. 44k? My A$$.

I´m sorry to say that both eagles and skulls were made by M1/17 it looks like.
I´m no expert but I found this info on the net with all makers of SS skulls and eagles.

[Doktor No]

You would only truly be sorry if you blew 44k and studied up on skulls and eagles.

Doktor No: The info is taken from a this page : SS RELICS - WAFFEN-SS TUNICS, SS HEADGEAR, SS POSTERS, SS UNIFORMS, SS INSIGNIA, SS ALLACH PORCELAIN
Some guy from WHAF that owns it I think. If it´s wrong I have no idea I leave that for the experts...
