Hello Gentleman
I'm new to the community and thought I would share my newest find and see what you think. I hope you like it. There was also a helmet that came with it.

Sorry to say there is nothing original, all insignias are copys same with the jacket byself.
I hope yuo did not spend much money for it, otherwise look to get your money asap back.

There is nothing worse than the feeling you experience when discovering your new found treasure is trash. I certainly hope you can obtain a refund from the seller.
May I suggest that you buy some books and study what you collect before putting down your hard earned money. Unfortunately, there are a lot of crooks in the business. A genuine LAH gray wrapper such as this would price around $15,000-$20,000. Avail yourself of the Forum and post pictures before buying.
If you have a problem with refund, please let us know who the source of the jacket was.

Hello
Thank you for your responses first may i ask what do you see that makes you say fake so quick? And is it true if you hold a black light up to everything and nothing glows it's good? I've seen modern patch's glow like a christmas tree this one does not. I'm curious why no one asked to see the inside? does that not tell anything. I got this from a auctioned storage unit and didn't have to pay much for everything in the unit.So I geuss I'm ok.
Any way thank you to everyones help.

The main thing is to be happy with it!

Hi, I can tell you that between the people who have answered you on this post, there is well over 100 years of combinded collecting experience.

Going into more detail for you about the insignia alone. The cuff title has a totally incorrect weave; have a look at an original "Bevo" Adolf Hitler cuff title. The sleeve eagle is a fake style known to collectors as "Big Foot". These first appeared in the late 1980's. Again compare to any wartime pattern and you will not find a match due to the over sized appearance of the eagles feet. The "LAH" on the shoulder straps again do not match in detail to any original. Likewise the SS runes, these are incorrect in size and material used. Paint on the buttons is the wrong shade too and appears modern. Much repro insignia does not actually glow under a black light.

Hope this helps?

Cheers, Ade.
